Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN) India has announced that Agnello Dias (Aggi), Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder Taproot Dentsu, will now take on the additional responsibility of Creative Chairman, Dentsu Aegis Network India. In his new role, Dias will now also guide and mentor the creative output of all DAN India companies even as he continues his services with Taproot Dentsu.

Dias, previously the National Chief Creative Officer for JWT India, has been with Taproot Dentsu, the agency he co-founded, for 10 years now. Today the agency has a robust structure with Santosh Padhi (CCO & Co-founder), Umesh Shrikhande (CEO), Pallavi Chakravarthi (ECD), Ayesha Ghosh (General Manager) and Shashank Lanjekar (Head of Strategy) in Mumbai and Harjot Narang (General Manager), Titus Upputuru (ECD) and Anand Murty (Head of Strategy) in Delhi, leading their teams across a diverse portfolio of national and local brands.

Dias said, “Taproot Dentsu is now a robust, full-fledged agency, based in two cities and run by a team of capable and talented professionals. In fact, this is the team that has been at the forefront of everything the agency has done for some time now. With the structure now in place and Paddy (Santosh Padhi) leading the way with the rest of the team, it was felt that I could stretch myself to also work with the other hungry and talented teams across the DAN network in India. It is an exciting part of my life’s journey and I hope it’s fruitful for all.”
