“Rahul is fun, intelligent, charismatic and a joy to work with, but what makes him stand out is his ability to take ideas a couple of notches higher than a group’s collective imagination! I’ve worked with him in situations of high pressure, vexing demands, inadvertent oversights, creative impulses without budgets and he remained unfazed, full of dad jokes and camaraderie fueling “let’s make this happen” attitude! I’ve picked up the phone to call him so many times for advice, a quick rant, or genuine problem-solving and walked away lighter and wiser. Would highly recommend working with him for his creativity, ingenuity and zen-ness! ”

Your regional office is straying from brand guidelines. How will you bring them back in line?
There is always a ‘Why’ & ‘What’ behind the ‘How’ . Goal is to understand - why they are doing this? and what incremental value they are bringing by this change or missing a critical detail ? Bring in right marketing and business stakeholders and explain them with examples, guidelines and potential business and credibility loss.
