Name one fun fact about you, your agency, or market, that people might find interesting?
We have something called Fish Sense — inspired by our pet fish when we started in 2000. Like a fish’s sixth sense, it’s our way of instantly sensing currents in digital and delivering fresh, inimitable solutions.
What were your two greatest accomplishments of 2024/5?
Celebrating 25 years as one of India’s only independent digital agencies to reach this milestone without selling out — and even today, continuing to win recognition at platforms like the Abby One Show and the Montreux International Advertising Festival, proving that our creativity and impact remain world-class.
Developing Octopus, our proprietary AI-powered conversational bot, with its first deployment for Volini — marking the start of our journey in building AI-led IP for brands.
Name the best things about being an Indie! (Independent Agency)
Freedom. The freedom to choose our path, to stay true to our values, to build authentic client relationships, and to reinvent ourselves constantly.
What do you wish clients could better understand to get the most out of their agency partner?
That great work comes when agencies are treated as true partners — not just vendors. Trust and collaboration multiply creativity, speed, and results.
What does AMIN’s Mantra, “You’ve Got Allies”, mean to you in your own words?
It means that while we may be independent in our markets, we are not alone. Together, we are a global collective of ideas, innovation, and support.
What inspires you most into 2025?
Harnessing AI not just as a tool, but as a creative ally to reimagine how agencies deliver value. And continuing to nurture young talent who will shape the future of digital marketing.
Would you rather be transported 500 years into the future or 500 years into the past, and why?
I’d choose to go 500 years into the past — to shape a better future from that point. I’d love to nurture a world built on sustainability, human intuition, and ecological balance, so that today we would have a healthier planet and a deeper connection to our natural abilities instead of over-reliance on gadgets.
