Based in Bangalore, Mohankumar will lead strategic planning and brand management at Dentsu Communications across its offices in New Delhi and Bangalore. A seasoned planner with nearly two decades of experience, he moves from Mudra where he was Senior VP and Head of Planning, Mudra South.

Welcoming Mohankumar to Dentsu, Rohit Ohri, Executive Chairman, publive-imageDentsu India, said, “I'm really happy to have Suresh as a part of the leadership team of Dentsu Communications. Suresh has the right combination of passion, talent and commitment to partner our creative and account management teams to take our creative product to the next level.”

Taira Kimura, Chief Operating Officer, Dentsu Communications, said, “Suresh brings on board strong experience across brand, categories and regions. I have great confidence in his abilities and expertise to add value to our service deliveries and up the ante at Dentsu Communications.”

On joining Dentsu, Mohankumar said, “The communications business is at a crossroads as convention increasingly gives way to real consumer engagement. That integration and media-neutral planning is the way forward is exactly what Dentsu believes in and I believe that Dentsu is uniquely structured to deliver that. Also, as part of an organisation at the cusp of an exciting transformation, I am very excited about my journey ahead and look forward to my mandate at Dentsu Communications.”

Mohankumar started his career in Account Management with RK Swamy/BBDO in Chennai. Over the next seven years he worked with Contract and Lowe in Bangalore. He switched to Account Planning in 2000 when he moved to Mudra Chennai. As a strategic planner he then worked with Contract and JWT in Chennai.

Tanishq, BPL, Ford, Volkswagen, Carbon, MRF, Lotte, TI Cycles, Henkel, Fa, Reynolds, McDowell's, Johnson & Johnson and Lipton are some of the brands that he has worked on. He cites his experience while working on Tanishq's 'karatmeter' campaign as something that motivated him to become a strategic planner.

A commerce graduate, he did his MBA with a dual specialisation in Marketing and Finance from TA Pai Management Institute in 1993.
