While announcing the second edition, Deepak Kapoor, Founder, The Commune, stated, “What started off as an idea in 2016, The Commune has come a long way in mobilizing and bringing together different professions on a single platform. Though related, professionals somewhere lacked awareness of how each of the professions functioned and the challenges involved. It’s an effort to bridge this gap through unique experiences. Equally important when integration is the buzz word in marketing communications space and all these industries are or
will be working together in some way or the other.”
