He has been associated with brands including Tata Tea 'Jaago Re', Lifebuoy Worldwide, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Tetley Tea, Videocon d2h, Onida air conditioners, TVS, Domex, Croma, Bajaj Bikes, DNA newspaper, Airtel, Economic Times, HLL - Dove, Lakme, Pond's, P&G - Vicks, Kingfisher Airlines, Zoom TV, Hindustan Pencils, World Gold Council and BBC World, to name a few.

His work has won him accolades in both the international and national circuits, including the prestigious New York Festival, D&AD, One Show, Adfest, Cannes Lions, Abbys and Effies. He was named 'India's Advertising Young Gun' by Afaqs! and 'Rockstar of Indian Advertising' by Campaign India magazine. Pinto has led some famous award winning campaigns such as 'Bande Achchhe Hain' for ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, 'Power of 49' campaign for Tata Tea, 'Heat mein Dheet Hain' for Onida AC, 'Inside wala Snaan' for Tetley Green Tea and 'For Indian Values' for Videocon d2h.

An avid Bollywood enthusiast, he composes music and writes lyrics too. His first feature film outing will be seen mid-2015.

Commenting on his new role, Pinto said, "I've been a fan of Sonal's work especially the 'Indian Panga League' campaign for Virgin Mobile, and I really look forward to working with him. Rahul Mathew is a powerhouse too, and now with him leading the way at DDB Mudra West, I see a real reason to join the fight and help take DDB Mudra West to the next level. DDB Mudra Group has always had all it takes to be a serious influencer in the Indian advertising scene, and I hope to be part of that little push with some fun, 'junta' work."

I am really looking forward to his diversity adding to our body of work."
