The venue is The Trident, Gurgaon. The debate will be held from 4.30 – 6.30 PM.

Speaking 'For' the topic will be Josy Paul, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, BBDO India, and Pratap Bose, Chief Operating Officer, DDB Mudra Group.

Speaking 'Against' the motion will be Deepika Warrier, Vice-President – Beverage Marketing, Pepsico India, and Lloyd Mathias, Director, Green Bean Ventures.

The debate will be moderated by Santosh Desai, Managing Director and CEO, Future Brands.

Commenting on the IAA Debates and the upcoming event in Delhi (NCR), Srinivasan K Swamy, President, IAA India Chapter, said, “The first two debates – in Mumbai and Goa – were extremely well received. I expect the third IAA Debates to do as well. The topic chosen is provocative and is something in the minds of many after the recent Goafest-Abbys event. With the line-up of speakers, the debate in Delhi promises to be exciting, delivering viewpoints to help our perspectives evolve.”

Partho Dasgupta, Co-Chairperson, IAA Debates, added, “This is the good old classic format of debate where industry leaders debate serious issues. It's not a standard, comfortable panel discussion sitting on a couch. We get to hear the best opinion backed by information on subjects with speakers defending their positions passionately.”
