MSLGroup India (Publicis Groupe's Strategic Communications and Engagement Firm) has announced senior level promotions. This is in line with the firm's strategy to drive growth and fortify its expanding India business.

Amrit Ahuja and Viju George fill the roles vacated by Chetan Mahajan, who is leaving the firm after 18 years to pursue opportunities outside Publicis Groupe.

Ahuja, a 20-year agency veteran who heads the Technology Practice for MSLGroup in Asia, has been promoted to lead 20:20 MSL as Managing Director, effective from December 1, 2016.

The firm's latest offering, Publicis Consultants Asia, will now operate nationally as an individual brand. George, who has spent nearly 19 years with the firm, has been elevated to head Publicis Consultants Asia as Managing Director, also effective from December 1, 2016.

With its Strategic Planning Model i3, MSLGroup India has grown its integrated communication offering revenue by over 30 per cent for the second year running and today represents a best-in-class portfolio of blue-chip mandates.

Under their leadership I see our brands growing from strength-to-strength.”
