According to Sweezal Furtado, Miss Global India 2024 and model, “Parul Gulati's debut at Cannes is a commendable lesson on personal-branding and projecting thought leadership in your niche. It’s a testimony to embracing our roots. She reminds us that the powerful brands are built on originality and courage and not conformity. She has taken embracing individuality one step further and her entrepreneurial storytelling through her presence is worth taking notes. Her self-expression is a message that the future of branding lies in the fearless alignment of product, personality, purpose, and presence.”

Meanwhile, Sidhharrth S Kumaar, Founder & Brand Coach of NumroVani shared, “Parul Gulati's Cannes appearance was a branding masterstroke! Wearing a dress created of her own product not only promoted Nish Hair but also represented it. Parul told us in a noisy society that confidence is the real brand currency. People purchase the narrative, the values, and the individual behind them as well as goods. Founders who promote their concept from inside create brands that survive.”

Sidhharrth also mentioned that the consumers of today want not just features but also relationships and emotional vibe connections. They intend to understand the "why" behind the "what." This visual narrative appeals to desires, ideals, and feelings.

“In a time of cognitive overload, what cuts through is not product specs but the meaning behind those. Like Parul Gulati's wearable brand moment, visual storytelling uses the mirror neuron effect to invite the viewer to experience her belief rather than just see it. Deeper memory encoding, brand recall, and loyalty enhancement come from this limbic-level involvement. The brand gets emotionally sticky, not merely aspirational when the founder is both the messenger and the message,” he explained.
