CE DESK 
BBDO Group India has appointed Kunal Sharma as Vice President, marking a strategic addition to the agency’s leadership team as it continues to strengthen its client servicing capabilities across the network.
Sharma joins BBDO Group India from Cheil India, where he served as General Manager, bringing a wealth of experience across client servicing, brand management, and integrated marketing communications. His career trajectory reflects deep expertise in managing complex client portfolios, developing brand strategies, and delivering creative solutions that drive business outcomes for diverse industry verticals.
The appointment comes at a time of continued momentum for BBDO Group India, which has been making strategic leadership hires to bolster its capabilities. Earlier in August 2026, the agency appointed Ankit Singh as National Strategy Director, further strengthening the group’s strategic leadership as it builds one of India’s strongest strategy teams under the guidance of Saad Khan, Chief Strategy Officer at ULKA, and Shashank Lanjekar, Chief Strategy Officer at BBDO India.
BBDO Group India operates as part of the global BBDO Worldwide network, one of the world’s leading creative communications companies. The agency has been actively expanding its client roster and creative capabilities, recently securing the integrated creative mandate for LT Foods’ flagship Daawat brand in July 2026. This partnership encompasses strategy, advertising, digital, and social communications, reflecting the agency’s commitment to delivering integrated creative solutions.
In his new role, Sharma will work closely with the agency’s existing leadership team to drive client growth, foster strategic partnerships, and deliver innovative marketing solutions that resonate with India’s evolving consumer landscape. His experience across client servicing and brand management positions him to contribute significantly to BBDO Group India’s continued expansion and market leadership in the competitive advertising and communications sector.
