Thank you ISDI Admissions Team
But let me narrate a very interesting episode that has got a lot to do with ISDI PARSONS Mumbai. The affiliation with Parsons New York was orchestrated by a Parson alma-mater – Radha Kapoor who is the owner of ISDI PARSONS Mumbai. Radha Kapoor is one of the three daughters of Rana Kapoor, the man at the helm of affairs at YES BANK.
Incidentally fashionscandal.com also did a piece on Radha Kapoor’s sibling…Rana Kapoor’s youngest daughter but since the piece was ‘not so charitable‘, Mr. Kapoor got very upset. Now typical of Indian richie-riches, he wanted to wipe me and 108.168.206.104/~fashions/ out. He filed police complaints and yes cops are so prompt at acting on the behest of the Capitalist biggies that I was literally hounded. I stuck to my gun claiming that what I wrote was factually correct and did not take the article off. More harassment followed but then those are the risks I am willing to take for my readers. But eventually I succumbed when a very-very-very senior journalist, who is and has been an editor with couple of prestigious publications made a friendly request on behalf of Mr. Rana Kapoor to take the post off.
So I am pretty happy to be of some use to Rana Kapoor’s eldest daughter – Radha because they have come to 108.168.206.104/~fashions/ to spread the news that ISDI PARSONS Mumbai is starting Undergraduate Diploma Program in July 2013 and Post Graduate Certificate Program in September 2013. Isn’t it a proud moment for 108.168.206.104/~fashions/???
What Goes Around, Comes Around!
yes its a proud moment and keep up the good work.cheers
Were you paid to write this article? I guess, this is an advertorial piece.. isn’t it?
Ranjith ji, if I was paid to write this then why would I also write about Rana Kapoor’s strong-arm tactics??
Use your head dude!
haha i like this article…. Parsons in Mumbai ko bhi promote kiaa…. aur Ranbir ki story ko bhi… hehe 😉
But i am still waiting for the article about what happened in TOIFA this time *cough* *RK n Anushka* *cough*
Jack! Not just that! I pasted your article about the Kapoor daughter and Ranbir on IF. But the entire 10 page thread was removed as well. I found out a year later when I went searching for it but couldn’t find it. Imagine the shock! Then I came to fashionscandal and couldn’t find it here either. What the actual fuck!!!! Anyway, glad they didn’t sue you or anything. 🙂 Please keep writing 🙂
