Meet Mannan
The fixed point around which revolves a fantastic experiential session
Mannan Thakral stands 5 feet 9 inches tall in his socks. Much like Ayushmaan – he is a typical West Delhi Gora Chitta Munda who is looking out to woo the Kajols of the world – but don’t tell that to his would be Model / Grooming Expert. His culture is mostly agriculture and dreams of a combined harvester running across his farm in sadda Punjab when he thinks he has enough moolah. He gets his energy from his audience not Boost – whether real or virtual or on the radio waves, and he is a bhagat of Chetan Bhagat. Harry’s philosophy is one that he believes in.
Harry is a wild childhood friend of his – with three Bs to live for. As a talkative backbencher, he never imagined that his long ears will come in handy to listen and hold the headset firmly and that a pandemic would make him create his website. Those who do not know him, regard him curiously. Wants to help those in the industry while he lives. In the end, one has no one to answer to but the Uparwala – the man upstairs – not the aged tenant.
Make love, not war, he tells the current club-wielding fighter apes across the world.
Takes two to tango, but three is a family. Keep ‘em Coming!
A Professional MC is a brilliant investment in your event and in your delegates.
