The Trust Gap: When Brand Promises Meet Brand Decisions

The Trust Gap: When Brand Promises Meet Brand Decisions

Luxury brands have never spoken more about purpose, sustainability, craftsmanship, and values. Yet customers, employees, investors, and the media are asking a tougher question: do those promises match reality?
This session explores the growing gap between what brands say and what they consistently demonstrate through their decisions. Drawing on more than three decades inside the industry, Abhay Gupta introduces a practical framework for reading the gap between what a brand promises and what it actually decides, why authenticity has become a commercial advantage, where luxury brands are most vulnerable, and how trust is built long before a crisis occurs.
