Mentors, Mentees & Role Models

Last week, I learned that I was awarded the Wolf Prize in Agriculture. I wondered what had enabled a kid that grew up in a low-income neighborhood in Jerusalem to receive this award from the Israeli president. Of course, there are the usual suspects – loving and supportive parents and family, excellent primary and secondary education (as I get older, I appreciate more and more what I received in my primary and especially secondary school), but here I’d like to concentrate on role models and mentors.

A Sonic Identity Is No Longer ‘Nice To Have' But A ‘Must Have''

In 2012, Rajeev Raja, former National Creative Director of DDB Murda, decided to turn his passion for music into a full-time profession and co-founded a rather unique “sonic branding” company called Brandmusiq. Sonic branding, says Raja, is the audio equivalent of visual branding and his company creates and manages “sonic identities” for brands — just as you identify a brand with a visual, you identify it with a particular sound as well. So far, Raja’s concept and its impressive execution by his team has won the company some prominent clients — Vistara Airlines, HDFC Bank, Kraft Heinz, Tata Salt, Standard Chartered Bank, Reliance Petroleum and Raymond to name a few. In an interview with Amit Ranjan Rai, he explains why sonic identities matter and his plans to grow the business.
