Komal Thakur, a woman entrepreneur in media, shares why creating new experiences is essential for an entrepreneur to drive Success.
A hallmark of the current generation is that we get bored very easily! From kids to adults, we all wish to do something different. Be it a movie or a restaurant or places to explore, people always tend to try something new; something that is the ongoing trend.
Although all of us have age old favorites which would not change with time, like the neighbourhood coffee shop, that special dress or your favorite movie which is on loop every alternate Sunday, apart from those few treasured ones, if we are to try something new, there are many deals out there in the market that offer us the opportunity.
In this age of super customization and competition for everything, what do you think makes a business stand out? One thing would be the kind of experience that they offer their customers. It is not just about the end product or service, but also about the whole new experience that one gets in dealing with a business.
Here in this video from our last Breaking Barriers event from Mumbai, we have Komal Thakur, Co-founder of Trompeloeil Media Pvt. Ltd, talk about how they strongly believe in creating such newer experiences for their customers.
They have ventured into television shows and plan to extend it to movies further. Hear more in this short video!
Be part of our next Breaking Barriers event to hear from many such inspiring entrepreneurs, get to know about different creative ventures and perhaps you will create a new experience yourself!

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
