New Delhi [India], May 27 (ANI-NewsVoir): President of India Pranab Mukherjee received the first copies of the book 'Mann Ki Baat' - A social revolution on Radio, at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi, on May 26, 2017.

The event was graced by the Honorable Vice President of India, Hamid Ansari, and Union Minister for Finance and Defence, Arun Jaitley. The book provides a peek into how one of the most popular leaders of our time approaches an idea like 'Mann Ki Baat' and what its historical value may be.The foreword for the book has been written by the Prime Minister of Japan. Writing about Mann ki Baat, Shinzo Abe says "This book is filled with Prime Minister Modi's enthusiasm for interacting with the people of India, particularly with the youth. I cannot but feel his strong passion for dialogue with his people." The book has been written by Bluekraft Digital Foundation, which is a not-for-profit organization that is actively working in the realm of policy and governance matters. Based out of New Delhi, Bluekraft brings together a wide spectrum of leading policy makers and young thinkers to debate, discuss, deliberate and formulate new ideas that will enrich India's development trajectory.

This book also provides a great opportunity to all Indians to get to know some hither to unknown facets of Prime Minister's thinking, his beliefs and his thought process. Prime Minister Modi is himself quoted in many chapters of the book and the insights that emerge are perhaps the most important contribution that this book makes. There are interesting anecdotes shared by the members of the Prime Minister's core team and people from AIR and MyGov to quench people's curiosity about the minute but interesting details of how the idea of a radio programme came up, how the name and frequency were decided and how the format was chalked out, among other things. Writing a blurb for the book, Bill Gates, Co-Chair and Trustee, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, says, "Mann Ki Baat is a great example of how media can be used as a platform for bringing about positive change. Through this new initiative and others, including MyGov.in, that invites the public to participate, Prime Minister Modi has included millions of Indians in a collaborative effort that can improve the efficiency of public service information delivery and accelerate progress."

The Discipline of Delivery Ft. Amitabh Saksena & Sameer Varma

New Delhi [India], February 26: It is easy to be seen in today's business world, but credibility is not. Brand voices have never been louder but amplification alone cannot make a lasting effect. It is execution that makes the difference.For any smooth customer experience, there is an unseen engine of process, infrastructure, and intent. And behind all that is the story of clarity that drives the intent. Today, a brand is no longer defined by what it says in fact it is defined by what it delivers consistently. A market that is becoming impatient and consumers prone to frantic demands of instant gratification compel businesses to think not only about the way they communicate, but also about the way they conduct their business. The process and storytelling intersect at a point of building durable brands.
