Year-ender 2021: 'Hopefully, the only mask we will need to know of, is the one you wear to a masquerade party' - Anil Nair

We ask industry leaders for their learnings from 2021, and an outrageous prediction for the year to come

Year-ender 2021: 'Hopefully, the only mask we will need to know of, is the one you wear to a masquerade party' - Anil Nair
Campaign India is ending the year by asking industry leaders about what this year taught them and an outrageous prediction for 2022.  
 
Here's what Anil Nair, CEO, VMLY&R, had to say:
 
Your stand-out moment or learning from 2021?
 
Life is unpredictable. A lockdown or an unfortunate situation can happen any moment and for any duration. So, we need to open up to appreciating life, people and experiences as and when it shows up 
 
An outrageous prediction for 2022? 
 
Hopefully, we all wake up and discover that the virus has disappeared. It was all a bad dream. An episode from 'Black Mirror' and the only mask we need to know about is the one you wear to a masquerade party.
