Being a leading player in the industry, it is looked upon by other players in terms of its business moves – I mean who would want to reinvent the wheel when it already exists. During my meeting with them, I was posed a question – I am the leading player in this industry…prospects know…competitors follow my strategy closely and try and copy…I drive a lot of industry business… then why should I advertise?

The business is profitable. Your brand
