  • S2E4: Tomorrow's Government with Jaideep Prabhu, Professor of Marketing, University of Cambridge
    May 4 2021
    Tomorrow's government will be all about foretelling what is going to happen tomorrow and delivering that today to its constituents. In this episode, Saurabh is joined by Jaideep Prabhu, an author, professor and thought leader. Jaideep is currently the Professor of Marketing, Jawaharlal Nehru Professor of Indian Business and Enterprise, and Director of the Centre for India & Global Business at Judge Business School, University of Cambridge.
