Emphasising the power of social media in the contemporary times, Mr. Desai further opined, “Social Media allows our thoughts to become immortal. In the field of social media, everybody plays the role of content creator but in actual terms it is about what people are really interested in. Mass will only rely on those information which arrests their attention. This is why, ideas are considered important in social media. Hence, social media is a revolution; it lends democratization to the masses by giving them voice
Talking about the brands, Mr. Desai quipped, "Brand is what a brand does. Brands are no more nouns now but are considered as verbs. Brands, therefore, need to stick to their promise and thereby perform.”
