Tarun Jha, who had joined as the chief executive officer, has decided to move on to pursue other interests. Over the past year, Tarun was instrumental in building the creative agency, putting processes in place, and hiring a team of leaders who have helped the agency witness growth.
“Tarun was an intrinsic part of the team, playing a key role in establishing a robust foundation for Havas Worldwide India. He actively contributed to important discussions and helped in putting together a strong and capable second line of leaders. I wish him all the best for the next chapter,” Rana Barua, group CEO, Havas India, Southeast Asia and North Asia (Japan and South Korea), said.
Anupama Ramaswamy, chief creative officer, Anirban Mozumdar, chief strategy officer and Kundan Joshee, managing partner, will continue to lead Havas Worldwide India jointly and will report to Rana Barua.
“Witnessing the ‘One Havas’ philosophy and the effective collaboration between the 20 agencies and specialised divisions has almost been a revelation. I look forward to applying all my acquired skills and knowledge to the art of building enduring brands and businesses,” Tarun Jha, ex-CEO, Havas Worldwide India, said.
