his talk breaks a common myth: marketing, branding, and media aren’t just business tools—they’re life skills. In today’s world, visibility decides credibility. If you don’t tell your own story, the world will tell one for you—and you may not like that version. Marketing is no longer a department; it’s the language of modern life. Branding isn’t about logos or taglines—it’s the promise you make, and marketing is how people remember that promise. Media has become the new oxygen, turning visibility into trust and trust into opportunity. For students, this field isn’t just a career option—it’s an ecosystem. Every profession, from startups to doctors to creators, depends on storytelling and presence. With AI entering the picture, the future belongs to those who blend technology, creativity, and human insight. The core message is simple: start building your personal brand now. Because the future doesn’t belong to the most qualified—it belongs to the most visible, authentic, and courageous voices. Vansh Mehra is the Founder and Director of Digisharks Communications Pvt.
