Why are you into Advertising?
Because in the morning I love my job… by the time the day ends I hate it. Between loving and hating, I feel alive.

Did you attend school for fine art or design or Communications?
I did. BFA, M.S.U. Baroda for 4 years. My specialization was advertising. Still hazy about what I learnt.

Were there any particular role models for you when you grew up?
Honestly it was so long back I don’t remember.
