Backed by a Bachelors' in Chemistry, a Diploma in Hotel Management as well as Advertising & Public Relations, from the University of Mumbai, Harindra Singh today, is keenly regarded as one of the thought leaders in the industry.
Having begun his career in 1980 at Interads, one of the leading advertising agencies at that point in time, he went on to start Percept, an entertainment, media and communications empire.
