Cow is a cow is a cow
by Abhishek Thapar
“Due to the sensitive content in the performance, set off to burst the myth of the Holy cow. I am unable to share this work publically on this platform. Instead, I share my thoughts, ideas and surroundings in the form of a podcast. All ears!!!” – Abhishek Thapar

About Cow is a cow is a cow
‘Cow is a cow is a cow’ dives into the economy and politics of the holy cow in India.
Taking the audience through a brand launch of cow based products, Abhishek Thapar
digs into his personal archive of a forgotten business idea, a niche market yet to mature,
a cow yet to turn holy and an ideology waiting to go rogue. Has the time come for the
export of the holy cow?l
