I am thrilled to welcome Sanjay to the Publicis Groupe family. His depth of international experience of leading world-renowned brands and his understanding of business cultures is unparalleled. I am confident that Sanjay will build on Publicis Groupe’s momentum in the region and will take the Groupe to even greater heights. I would like to thank Arosha for being a great business partner and wish him the best for his future.”

Chaudhari said, “The Publicis Groupe has gained significant momentum in the last two years owing to the ‘Power of One’ business model which has worked wonderfully for the network. I’m excited to join the Publicis family and build the ‘Power of One’ agenda in Sri Lanka and deliver more integrated creative solutions for our clients. I look forward to working with Saurabh and the entire Publicis Groupe team.”

Perera said, “It’s been a great journey for me at Leo Burnett, Sri Lanka. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the clients and our extremely talented people. This is what I’m going to miss most. I’m moving on to explore things that I have always wanted to, but just never had the time to do. I wish Saurabh, Sanjay and the entire Publicis Groupe the very best.”
