What Samir Nair was for Star is not as effective for Imagine, Peter Mukherjee is a similar case in INX, Jagdeep kapoor's brilliance in Parle does not seem to have been reflected after that yet being called a brand guru... I would also say that brilliance in performance should not be confused with brilliance in innovation... a genius thinks innovatively and out of the box, resultly disproportionate growth... there are people who are brilliant never-the-less, and have been consistent in their performance to deliver goods of what they are expected of...
