“Marquees has been able to carve out a niche for itself and I am glad to be a part of this journey. After a successful debut edition last year, I am looking forward to some great entries this year. As they say, an award is as good as its Jury and in this case the Jury can’t get better than this. The Jury with its years of experience and wisdom will be able to recognise the extraordinary work done by marketers over the past one year,” said Partho Dasgupta, CEO, BARC India and Chairman, Marquees 2018.
