Does Talent Need a BRAND Tag???


Does Talent Need a BRAND Tag???

Hello Friends,
After almost a month I am back with some content which is going in my mind for many days now. So I thought better to put my thoughts on my blog and know my audience views.

There is no doubt that this is a world of advertisements and branding. It is proven fact that the more you advertise, the more will be your popularity. Similarly this concept has entered into the lives of human beings. Now a days humans are also no different from any other product.

Last decade or so we have seen that a product tagged by HUL or ITC or any other international brand will be a big hit but a product of same or better quality will not able to get the desired exposure just because it is not branded. This is not because that non branded product is bad but the problem lies is in the Perception. People tend to trust more on branded products rather than any other ordinary product. Similar is the case with human beings also. Now a days students are striving hard to get a brand attached to their name. More often than not we see that A person studying in IIT or IIM will get much higher package or salary which any other ordinary person can't even think of. This sometimes makes me think that "Is there a dire need to attach a BRAND value to your name"??? Will you be not able to get success without the Brand value????


Friends it is very true that attaching a Brand Name like (IIT and IIM) will give your career a kickstart but it is not the only thing which can give you success. There are many legendary person who without having a brand attached to their name, they themselves made their name a BRAND. Every body might be knowing Mr NR Narayana Murthy(Founder of Infosys) who is not an IIT alumni nor an IIM alumni but still he created such a repo in the industry that even IIM and IIT grads dream of working in his organisation. There are many examples including Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell and many more they were all deprived of attaching a brand name but with their sheer hardwork, talent and self confidence they themselves have made their name a BRAND.

It's great if you can get a kick start in your career by getting a brand name but if in case you are not lucky then you should not worry. Because now there is a chance to make your name a BIG BRAND right? Your talent is not dependent of some organisation or institution to tag it as TALENTED but what matter is your confidence and self belief which takes you ahead in your life. Better know your strengths and weakness and work accordingly.


Though I am writing this article but I am also trying hard to attach a brand name. Since it's a human nature, we should never loose hope but at the same time we should keep in mind that it is not the only thing.


Thank you for being so patient and Wish u a great life ahead...!!!

  1. Nice one vedang!!! I think we have made a mentality to follow brands every now and then. May it be related to shopping or job. Now a days everyone feels like getting a job in infosys, tcs would make their life better otherwise its a bull shit. but i say is that always look for opportunities. There is always a hint of silver lining in the dark clouds. A bit of self confidence would be enough for one to sail oceans!!!
