How the day went

Lamp lit at eight. Trophies at nine.

The inaugural Brand Manthan opened with a lamp-lighting flag-off and ran sixteen sessions across a single day: keynotes on the state of pharma brand-building in India, practitioner masterclasses, and panels that put marketing heads from competing companies on the same stage.

The evening closed with the first Brand Excellence Awards, including the Clinical Impact Award, presented in front of the full room. Most of the delegates stayed for dinner. Most of the conversations that mattered happened there.
