TDC had been successful in 2016 and 2017, with sales figures matching Singh’s
expectations and employees keen on getting work done. Singh’s informal and friendly leadership

remain knowledgeable of marketplace trends without formal market research. A bigger issue
that bothered Singh was the question of what brand strategy to follow.
