Yes, the man himself. I consider myself fortunate enough to have a one-on-one discussion with Retail guru himself. I later had the opportunity to attend his lectures. His ideas and insights in the Retail industry were great to say the least. He was also a great speaker and his knowledge on retail industry ACROSS the length and breadth of the world left everyone asking for more.

The below is the photo that he too with my batchmates. It was his idea to make us sit/stand in that order. I wasn�t available for the photo as I was busy volunteering at the convention.
