PepsiCo dumped SRK a week ago with its decision of not to renew the decade old contract with him. The possible reason can be that it doesn’t find SRK in sync with its ‘Youngistan’ theme anymore, and they need a Brand Ambassador who is a kind of youth icon. But the company is simultaneously in talks to sponsor SRK-owned KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) for which Coca Cola has already pitched for a two year contract. Pepsi has given a counter offer to KKR outbidding the one given by Coca Cola.
King Khan has already expressed his unhappiness regarding PepsiCo terminating his contract. Apart from King Khan, PepsiCo also kicked Saurav Ganguly of KKR though it has continued association with Ishant Sharma of KKR.
I just want to wait and watch that whether SRK considers PepsiCo’s offer as a business matter or rejects it as a personal matter. But the biggest question that comes in my mind after going through such news is that where is recession?

If there is no resession, than why 5 lac people in India lost there jobs in last three months, why b-schools are full of unplaced students, why IIM’s placement season is still not over, Why inflation rate is approaching zero, Why Nifty is set to hit 2000, Why retailers are closing stores, Why companies have gone under cost cutting, Why stores are not able to sell merchandise even after giving heavy discounts, Why money is depreciating day by day, Why automobile companies are not able to sell cars, Why average disposable income has decreased
If all these are sign of just a slowdown and not recession, then I pray god that please never show me Recession…
