Join Meghdut as he hosts on Make Calcutta Relevant Again with Sumanta Chattopadhyay—an advertising honcho, celebrated content creator, and the "English Nut"—on a mission to challenge the city's self-perception.
From his sharp declaration that AI is an "existential threat" to legacy ad agencies to his dissection of the famous Bengal Tourism ad, Sumanta reveals the creative world's biggest shifts. Hear him take on the local culture, asserting the existence of a "conscious propaganda" against Kolkata and confronting the passive resignation of the 'Hobe Na' (It won't happen) mindset.
Tune in to discover why content creation is now the ultimate form of 'compensation' and how confronting Calcutta's cultural narrative is the first step toward making the city relevant again.
