He said there was nothing bad in marketing oneself and personal branding helped in personal development and business growth. It also helped establish a two-way channel of reaching out with your product/services. Speaking on striking a balance between financial viability and taking care of one’s health and protecting lives in these dire times of Covid, he said one has to be extremely cautious while making a balance between the two. Whatever needs to be done must be done keeping in mind the plight of poorest of poor, like daily wagers and others living on the edge. He also emphasised the new normal for hospitality industry which will take a paradigm shift owing to the ongoing circumstances.
