Speaking on this occasion, Manu Midha, VP, Strategy said, "We received an overwhelming response to the contest both from students and professionals. We were really impressed by the quality of advertisements that came in. Choosing one of them was indeed a tough call. Finally we went with the most innovative of all entries."
