In\u00a0a quest to\u00a0 cut down\u00a0the number of brands and focus on one, we decided to take two\u00a0 brands which were operating in two diverse fields and make it one.\u00a0Sure enough, \u00a0after a period of one and half years, the consumer feedback was\u00a0that it\u00a0was not working. The lesson that i\u00a0learnt is \u00a0you need\u00a0 to be more externally oriented and work\u00a0from a\u00a0 consumer point of view rather\u00a0 than\u00a0 an internal company point of view.The good thing is that now\u00a0both the\u00a0brands are successful.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing is that i wanted to be an air force fighter pilot\u00a0but I lost out. My eyesight\u00a0was weak and I needed glasses. I started my career all over again and learnt not to give up. There are various ways to achieve things. Excitement\u00a0for life restructured my thinking and lifestyle and i learnt to move like a fighter plane pilot\u00a0in\u00a0the marketing\u00a0profession.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiruba.com\/mistake\/files\/2009\/08\/devendrakumar.mp3\">\u00a0http:\/\/www.kiruba.com\/mistake\/files\/2009\/08\/devendrakumar.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0I learnt my biggest lesson when in my\u00a0previous company, I actually\u00a0 combined two brands\u00a0 into one as a way of synergizing them.
