“The first and most important thing is to ensure everyone is clear about what we are prioritising at this moment. The well-being of our people, their families and the community is the only focus. Our responsibility to help make things better for those suffering is all that matters at this time. As an organisation, we’re doing the best we can to tide through this time,” said Aditya Kanthy, CEO & MD, DDB Mudra Group.

Kanthy said they have received immense support from their clients who have been understanding and have extended their help to the group by being flexible on deadlines and prioritisation of projects.

The group has been working on campaigns that spread positivity, kindness and compassion, including initiatives such as EatQual for McDonald’s. The group’s association with Meesho is also fuelling entrepreneurial dreams of women and empowering them.

“Through our creative work and at work, we have the opportunity to create a moment of happiness or togetherness. Motivation and morale are linked to showing up for each other to offer hope and relief in whichever way possible. The kindness that we show each other makes all the difference,” said Kanthy.
