A session beyond the walls of the Parliament. A conversation beyond the pages of a magazine. OPEN HOUSE, an exclusive and televised breakfast session with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, was hosted by OPEN Magazine a day after he presented the Union Budget for 2017-2018. Fountainhead MKTG, the experiential marketing agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, executed and managed this event, that took place on February 2 February at The Leela Palace Hotel, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi.
Moderated by Sanjiv Goenka, Chairman, RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, the parent company of OPEN magazine, the event was an interactive session addressed by Jaitley to an exclusive audience comprising of the Moguls of Indian Commerce Industry— Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) President Naushad Forbes, CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee, Modi Enterprises President KK Modi, India Today Group Chairman Aroon Purie, Hero Corporate Services Chairman Sunil Munjal, DCM Shriram Chairman Ajay Shriram, Ambuja Neotia Group Chairman Harsh Neotia, Ernst & Young Chairman & Regional Managing Partner Rajiv Memani, Apollo Hospitals Executive Vice Chairperson Shobana Kamineni, Havells Chairman and MD Anil Rai Gupta, Inox Gujarat Fluorochemicals MD Vivek Jain, RPSG Group Sector Head of Retail Shashwat Goenka, and Micromax Co-Founder Rahul Sharma, among others.
Speaking of the event and its execution, PR Ramesh, Managing Editor, Open said, “Through OPEN HOUSE our aim is to create an event format that compliments the positioning of our magazine as one of the best examples of narrative journalism in India. Having the Finance Minister, the day after the union budget, interacting with corporate India offered the topicality that made impactful content for TV as well. With a partner like the Times Television Network (Times and ET Now) we ensured that the event reached a wider set of audiences. Overall, we were impressed by Fountainhead MKTG’s thought process, precision in execution and responsiveness in providing hands-on support for every aspect to make this event a success. We are extremely happy to have worked with this team and we look forward to working with them again.”

The objective of the event was to provide the perfect platform to have a free-wheeling chat, up close and personal with industry leaders from across the nation, and for the grand inaugural session with Arun Jaitley, dissecting the financial decisions made in the Union Budget 2017-18.
The brief mandate for FH MKTG was to ensure a conservative yet contemporary design language, a flawless production and a hassle-free execution, for this televised event. Aiming to create a holistic platform, the event was fashioned informally with unconventional seating that seated the host, the Guest of Honor and the attendees on the same pedestal.

“Given we were managing an event which included the who’s who of the Indian Industry and the fact that the entire show was going to be televised, thorough planning and execution of the event became imperative to ensure that we met every requirement of our client. We are glad our hard work, planning and management was well appreciated by the client,” said VG Jaishankar, President Events & Activations, Fountainhead MKTG
OPEN HOUSE saw straight talks and calculated responses, offering peeks into the Union Budget 2017-18 that shall make the Indian economy more efficient and influential.
