The PM has spoken of smart cities and clearly it's time for smart, digitally savvy large agencies to create work that speaks to people in their preferred medium, whether it's a 30" screen or a 4" one. FCB Ulka has been amongst India's top agencies for decades and has the size, an enviable client list and the relationships to do exactly that."
