Ex-Google MD shares inspiring tale from when he was a sales manager at Apple

• By Staff Writer

Parminder Singh, Ex-Google MD, recently took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share a lesson that he learned when he was working as a sales manager for Apple. In his post he explained how a few words from a legend of the marketing world helped him overcome his “embarrassment” of working “out of a humble 10x10 cabin in a business centre”.

“I was incredibly proud of working at Apple, and a bit embarrassed! Till I met Shunu Sen,” Singh wrote. In the next few lines, he explained that his job “opened access to CEOs, movie stars, top politicians, the who's who” but he was embarrassed to meet them at his small office. During that period, he came across Shunu Sen, - “a marketing legend with stellar accomplishments as a Marketing Director for Unilever India”. Singh explained how he met Sen for business and eventually requested him to be keynote speaker at an event. It is at that moment, he had a life-changing conversation with Sen that he still remembers.
