Piyush Pandey wins Silver

No, not at Cannes. Not at the Abby's. Not at any award ceremony.
He completed 25 years with O&M on the 31st of July. And, surpisingly, no one tom-tommed it.

What a story. In an industry which is going through an acute talent crisis, and attrition management is the foremost responsibility of CEOs, 25 years in one agency. And yet, it seems to merit no attention in the media.

Cool.

Sanjay Dutt's toilet habits in the Yerwada prison are much interesting than bland news like these.

Just a thought,
but don't you feel that one of the reasons for the Indian advertising industry being in the state it's in today is because of that very reason? The fact that it's an industry run by a bunc of old guys, that none of the youth today indentify with, and therefore look at other (more attractive)career options?
Really, who wants to be Colvyn Harris/Piyush Pandey/Pranesh Mishra/Pops today???

to react to the above, iconic characters have their pull, i agree but the real reason why the youth seems to be demystified with advertising lies elsewhere.

the industry has to pull people. advertising has to pull people. and it has pulled enough brandishing icons (i use the word very loosely here) like Piyush/Prasoon. How many people/youngsters who are interested in advertising know who a Colvyn is or for that matter a Santosh Desai is?

people are leaving or are not interested because we haven't been able to retain and nurture people. bad timings, stress, spineless account management, poor pay has all contributed to people quitting or showing any interest.

piyush has done his bit. maybe in a scammish sort of way, so has prasoon j. and let us not expect them to do anything anymore.

I hope this location is in fact the best place to submit this... I merely hoped to notify any of us across the forum who resides in Oz know about a superb high quality audio visual equipment internet site identified as Ordio. I stumbled upon them surprisingly by accident when I was looking for [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]home theatre[/url] and it just so happened that these blokes had the lowest prices in the market. Not only that but they are genuinely informative and even followed up on my purchase to make sure that I was still happy. They actually buy out large inventories of electronics so that they can genuinely break the price down. Definitely give their website a look-see if you're searching for some home electronics.
