In a significant transformation to become The Womb 2.0 for its clients, one of India’s leading independent advertising agencies- The Womb has elevated two of its old hands- Heval Patel and Dhaval Jadwani to the role of Joint Chief Operating Officers at the company.
The two newly appointed COOs- Patel and Jadwani have been associated with The Womb as Business Partner and Joint Head of Account Management, respectively, for close to nine years now.
Prior to joining The Womb in 2015, Patel was associated with Ogilvy & Mather as Client Services Director for more than a decade.
Jadwani, on the other hand, served the role of Client Services Director at Havas Worldwide from August 2010 to September 2015. Before that, he was the Account Manager at Publicis Advertising from January 2010 to September 2010, Account Manager at Marching Ants Advertising from April 2008 to January 2010 and Account Executive at Better Communications from April 2007 to December 2007.
Commenting on the development, Navin Talreja and Kawal Shoor, Co-Founders, The Womb, said, “We have always believed that real capability building requires focus, investments, and dedicated resources. This is why we decided to give our two senior-most leaders independent responsibilities. While Heval will focus on our top-of-the-funnel business and manage the entire P&L, stakeholders, and talent, and continue to deliver excellent work for which we are already known, Dhaval will work across our clients and build mid and bottom funnel capability to ensure that each of our clients has access to our The Womb 2.0 capabilities.”
“Heval and Dhaval have grown up with The Womb and live the values and vision of the company every day. Their client focus, strategic acumen, and relentless pursuit of excellence make them the perfect choice to steer the company forward. Both these gentlemen will be directly working with Anurag,” they added.
Commenting on the new Joint COO role, Patel said, “Many years of building The Womb with blood, sweat, laughter, and tears have been exciting. The journey of making The Womb the top independent agency in Asia & amongst the top 3 most effective independent agencies in the world is very satisfying, but ‘picture abhi baaki hai’. Extremely driven to take The Womb to the next level and conquer many heights.”
To this, Jadwani, who alongside Patel has assumed the role of Joint COO at The Womb, added, “The best way to grow is to get better every day at what you do and to find new things to learn, get better, and perfect. The opportunity to learn the latest and emerging ways to partner with clients in their business success is equally challenging and exciting. With the help and experience of Navin, Kawal and Anurag, we are honoured to take our new roles leading The Womb 2.0 into tomorrow and find greater success for us and our clients.”
