'Piyush Pandey's real connect with people and situations reflects in his work'
Guest Column: CVL Srinivas, Country Manager, WPP India, writes that the easiest way to introduce oneself is to say that one works in the same company as Piyush Pandey
To say he is a legend is an understatement. What Piyush has achieved in his blockbuster innings is unparalleled. It’s the easiest way to introduce oneself when you can say you work for the same company as Piyush.
Creative genius yes, but more than that he is a genuinely warm person who deeply cares for everyone and everything around him. Perhaps it is this quality that gets reflected in his work - the ‘real’ connect with people and situations.
I have had many fun and memorable moments with Piyush. We often meet or speak on matters that range from business to current affairs to jokes! Every conversation leaves a lasting memory.
We once had Piyush over for our GroupM internal conference in Goa. The stage was literally set for his session on creativity… it being the first session on Day 2 when we started pretty early in the morning. And then Piyush arrived, sat down on the steps of the stage and had us all spellbound for the next couple of hours… talking to us like a friend and not the God of advertising. That pretty much sums up Piyush for me.
