1) Mr. Joy Abdullah! please share any of your memory, which makes you laugh/smile.

2) Please share memories of your school days, any hard moments you passed, difficult time you have gone through.

— My school days are amongst the best of my life. I had a blessed school life, especially my secondary days all thanks to my father. Who did everything to provide me with one of the best school environments that one could have back in the day. I was in a boarding school, and the hardest thing to adjust was food! The food in the hostel wasn’t really up to the mark and often one would have to simply have plain bread and butter.

–Sci-fi. I’m an avid science fiction buff. I read and see various programs covering Artificial Intelligence and communication.

— Well, my career planning had been to focus on two key areas for any business Strategy and Marketing. I spent half my career in advertising as a brand & business head being involved in strategy development and brand management. And then the execution of the same to bring in the revenue.

The other half of my career I focused on Marketing, especially on strategic marketing, to create and manage brands. This focus helped me to have the opportunity of working across diverse industries and domains within them.
