A Keralite, born and brought up in the middle-class housing board colonies of Chembur in central Mumbai, Manoj (Vaz) Ramchandran overcame a chequered childhood and founded Touché Communications Pvt. Ltd, a totally creative -centric Ad Shoppe in 1991 at the ripe old age of 25. ‘Tinsel’ was his childhood dream but the deadlines and pressures of the advertising industry and the burgeoning responsibility of raising a son as a single father kept him from devoting time to it. Now that his son, Shlok Ramchandran, is 22 and an international badminton player, he finally made time to convert his dream into black and white. After all, we all dream in black and white they say. Some literally.

A Keralite, born and brought up in the middle-class housing board colonies of Chembur in central Mumbai, Manoj (Vaz) Ramchandran has written Tinsel from first-hand experiences. He started his career as a copywriter in Sam Balsara’s Madison Advertising in 1989 but soon realised that he had an independent line of thought and could not be forced to toe a line. Hence he founded Touché Communications Pvt. Ltd, a totally creative-centric Ad Shoppe in 1991 at the ripe old age of 25. Today Touché is 23 years young and Manoj as Chairman & Managing Director holds 100% stake in the company. ‘Tinsel’ was his childhood dream and he had written the first few chapters more than 20 years ago. But the deadlines and pressures of the advertising industry and the burgeoning responsibility of raising a son as a single father kept him from devoting time to it. Now that his son, Shlok Ramchandran, is 22 and an international badminton player who trains in Pullela Gopichand Badminton Academy in Hyderabad and day to day running of the agency is handled by experienced managers and executive officers, he finally made time to convert his dream into black and white. After all, we all dream in black and white they say. Some literally.
