Human, an independent ad agency started by Chirag Raheja and Imran Khan in 2023, has appointed former Brand Strategy Manager of Pacific Group Of Companies, Umesh Mandve as its new Business Head.
In his new role, he will be playing a pivotal role in the growth journey of Human.
Before joining Pacific Group of Companies in August 2023, Mandve was associated with Infectious Advertising for a period of more than four years. He joined the agency as Brand Partner in February 2019 and was elevated to the role of Brand Head in October 2021.
Prior to that he served the role of Marketing Manager at Lawrence & Mayo Opticals from February 2018 to February 2019, Co-Founder at Creative ThinkKing from November 2017 to December 2018 and Manager at SP-TBI for over six months, starting April 2017.
In the past, he also worked with Modern Paint Well and Nikhil Logistics.
Speaking on his appointment, Mandve, Business Head, Human, said, “I am thrilled to step into the role of Business Head at Human. While delivering top-notch work is vital, working with good people holds even greater value. Having collaborated with Chirag and Imran for many years and knowing them since 2018, I’ve witnessed their passion and creativity firsthand. Together, we are a team committed not just to delivering outstanding results, but also to forging strong, meaningful relationships with our clients and partners. I look forward to contributing to our growth and success. It truly feels good to be ‘human’.”
To this, Chirag Raheja and Imran Khan, Co-founders and Directors, Human, added, “We are very careful about the people we work with. Our first and foremost criteria is that they should be good people. Umesh fits the bill perfectly, now, and in the long run. While his business acumen and stellar track record in delighting clients are the tangible reasons for having him, his discipline and ethics are the softer, bigger reasons. His values resonate deeply with the culture we’re trying to create within the company – both, in India, and abroad.”
