Today it is synonymous with truly world-class advertising. With Russell as CEO and CCO, and Sinha taking additional charge as chairman, we will further accelerate the agency’s spectrum of capabilities and creative products to deliver unmatched value to clients. Sinha comes with a track record of growth, which is also a testament to our strong leadership talent.”

Also, Kamath added, “It’s been a fantastic journey of 13 years, having founded this agency from scratch in India. It’s an agency built on a very strong people’s culture with creative excellence & strategic thinking at its core. But I’ve been doing this for a very long time. As I enter the twilight of my 35-year career in advertising, I believe it’s time to hand over the baton to the next generation of leadership as I transition into an advisory role.”

“Our goal will be to be one of the topmost agencies in our network globally, creating work for our clients that brings them growth and glory, said Sinha.”
