Congratulating the winners, Chief Guest for the evening, the HonorableUnion Minister of State for FinanceSri Jayant Sinha said, “It is an honour to be present in a room full of achievers. Politics much is like marketing in many ways. In my experience I have learnt that Indian consumers are a very different lot, very different from consumers internationally. They are emotional, relational and definitely need value for money – paisa vasool is a must. So when we are speaking to the Indian consumers as marketers, much as we in politics do, we need to keep these aspects in mind. Having said that, I would like to congratulate the winnerstonight, and hope they celebrate their success over years to come.”

I would like to thank for the support I received from Raj Nayak for putting steam behind an award that the industry looks forward to.”
