Har insaan ke sunehri din hotay hain (everyone has their golden days) and for me they were when I started my career,” are the first words Mahmood Parekh, Chief Executive, MCM, says to me before I have even asked him anything. He is fully prepped for our interview, dressed in a black suit and white shirt, notes in hand and eager to talk about his 50 plus year journey in medical and consumer marketing.
