Vineeta Singh shares insightful advice on social media authenticity
The Shark Tank India Judge took to her Instagram handle and posted a video in which she opened up on the importance of personal branding and authenticity for modern businesses.
Vineeta discussed how crucial it is for consumer business founders to embrace authenticity rather than hiding behind brand pages.
Accompanying her post, she wrote in the caption, “As a social media misfit myself, I’ve learnt the hard way that consumer business founders have to spend a lot more when they hide behind their brand pages. While a lot of people are faking it on social media, what’s winning is still AUTHENTICITY.”
In the video, she emphasized the importance for entrepreneurs to develop their own distinctive brand voice in today's digital era.
She said, “I don’t think you have an option but to have a personal brand because people are spending like 7-8 hours on their mobile devices. You have to have a voice because young people, they don’t trust ads, they trust authenticity. So, a brand is equal to authenticity, which comes from your voice and you need to have a voice.”
