Mr. Murthy talked on the topic 'Kotler is dead: The new rules for marketing for 21st century'. A talk that was completely non-conformist in style and content, he talked about the new rules of marketing in today's world and how the theories of marketing gurus such as Philip Kotler, David Aaker and Ries and Trout have become obsolete to today's marketers. He challenged the students' minds by putting forth and defending his belief that the famous marketing theories that are taught in every management school like the 4Ps of marketing etc have become irrelevant.
