We are on the same page in terms of vision, creative and strategic thinking, and ideas for the development of strong teams. It is my sincere belief that the Dentsu India Group will grow into one of the most highly respected solutions agencies under his leadership."

Rohit Ohri has nearly twenty-four years of experience in advertising communications, twenty-one of which were spent at JWT, India.

Over the last six years, Ohri has led the enormous success of JWT's Delhi Office, making it the largest and most profitable branch in Asia Pacific, and one of the top ten JWT offices globally.

A creative thinker and strategic leader, Ohri has an outstanding track record in enhancing the creative product, developing new business, managing organizational change, and driving revenue growth and profitability.
