Ad-Guru Prahlad Kakar conducted the workshop.  Mr. Kakar flawlessly addressed the students about to do’s and not to do’s in the segment. He said, “If the situation comes that you are confident with your decision and idea and that’s why you lose your job; then you are in a right way and it’s that very way to reach somewhere. If you want to be creative in such a unique sense, then just throw your first 10 ideas into dustbin and start from the 11^th. You may be thinking that why? Because, first 10 ideas mostly are those, that have been stored in your brain. So, the ideas definitely have been used somewhere but the 11^th should be original. Please don’t think that, it’s easy to think of 10 ideas instant and also it’s easy to throw your idea into dustbin but this is the practice you should have to be an Ad Professional”.
