What Vivek Hattangadi and Black Belt Brand Builders Do Not Engage In

We at Black Belt Brand Builders uphold the following principles, defining what we do not engage in:

  1. Event Management: While event management is a valuable service, it is not within our scope of operations. Our expertise lies in building long-term brand strategies, not one-off events.  We specialize in areas of pharma branding and marketing. Our brand workshops leverage our deep expertise in pharma brand management, sales growth strategies, and leadership development.
  • Workshop locations: Our Learning & Development workshops prioritize learning over extravagance. We keep our Learning & Development workshops practical and focused. We prefer simple but comfortable learning ambience and environment but are happy to accommodate client preferences.
  • Recruitment and Placements: Our focus is on brand and brand managers development, not on talent acquisition. Talent acquisition lies outside this realm. We do not participate in these activities.
  • Talent Poaching: We firmly adhere to ethical practices and do not engage in the poaching of talented personnel from our clients.
  • Transactional Marketing: We maintain integrity by refusing to work with clients involved in transactional marketing, i.e. where prescriptions are exchanged for incentives, like monetary rewards, cruises, and holidays. We reject such clients.
  • Commitment to Good Branding Practices: We refrain from engaging with clients who do not exhibit a sincere internal dedication to embracing and executing effective branding and marketing strategies.

v] Focus on basics:

We believe in establishing a solid foundation through good branding practices, not event-driven marketing efforts. This foundation fosters long-term brand awareness and trust, leading to organic growth and lasting customer relationships. Event-driven marketing can be a valuable tool, but it’s most effective when built upon a strong brand identity.


vi] Our preferred method of Learning & Development is through the engaging and thought-provoking case method, inspired by Harvard Business School.

Case method Learning & Development stimulates critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and fosters collaboration as you analyze real-world business scenarios. This approach equips you to tackle complex challenges and make informed decisions in a dynamic business environment.
