To embark on their next entrepreneurial venture after building and growing Tilt Brand Solutions and Vector Brand Solutions, the trio of T Gangadhar, Shriram Iyer and Rajiv Chatterjee have decided to call it a day at Quotient Ventures.
The three will be serving their notice period at the company till the end of June, this year.
While Iyer and Chatterjee have been associated with the company as Co-founder and Group Chief Creative Officer, and Co-founder and Group Chief Growth Officer, respectively for the past six years, Gangs had assumed the role of Co-Founder and Group CEO about one-and-a-half years back.
Before joining Tilt Brand Solutions in September 2018, Chatterjee was the EVP at Lowe Lintas from January 2015 to June 2018. He was also associated with MullenLowe Lintas Group for a period of more than four-and-a-half years, first as VP from May 2010 to June 2012 and was later promoted to the role of SVP in June 2012. Earlier on, he also worked as Manager at J Thomas & Company from April 1998 to March 2004.
Similarly, Gangs, who had joined Quotient Ventures as Co-Founder and Group CEO in February 2023, was associated with Essence (now EssenceMediacom) for close to five years. He joined the media agency as Chairman- India in January 2018 and was elevated to President- Growth and Strategy (Asia Pacific) in April 2018 before he assumed the position of CEO (Asia Pacific) in September 2020.
Prior to Essence, he was the Managing Director- South Asia at MEC from August 2008 to December 2017, SVP and Head of Marketing at Sony Pictures Networks India from June 2006 to July 2008 and Brand Services Director to VP- Strategic Planning at MullenLowe Lintas Group from October 2000 to October 2005. In the past, he also worked with Oman Trading Establishment and DDB Mudra Group.
Sharing his views on the development, Iyer, Co-Founder and Group Chief Creative Officer, Quotient Ventures, said, “Tilt has been perhaps the most enriching 6 years of my professional and personal life, and for that I will forever be indebted to the place. I am proud to have been part of its early days and to have been part of a culture that created perhaps some of India’s best advertising work and people. I wish Quotient Ventures great success and am happy I can now cheer for the work as a true fan of a great agency!”
To this, Chatterjee, Co-Founder and Group Chief Growth Officer, Quotient Ventures, added, “In under 6 years, Tilt has come to be known for its consistently high-quality creative output and an organization culture of being extremely professional, ethically uncompromising, work-proud and client focused. And contributing to this from Day 1 has been both the most demanding as well as the most fulfilling phase of my professional journey. As my own voyage takes a different path at this juncture, Quotient Ventures will always be the only place I will be the loudest cheerleader of. My sincere love and gratitude to Joe and the leadership team, all the clients, our partners and all my colleagues for this ride of a lifetime.”
Furthermore, Gangs, Co-Founder and Group CEO, Quotient Ventures, also mentioned, “It’s been an absolute privilege and honour to work shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the brightest minds in the industry. I leave a humbler and wiser person than when I joined this team. Needless to say, I’ll be rooting for the continued success of Quotient Ventures.”
Sharing his views on the trio calling it a day at the company, Joseph (Joe) George, Founder and Group Chairman, Quotient Ventures, stated, “Shriram and Rajiv have been part of Tilt’s journey from Day 1, and I cannot thank them enough for helping us get to where we are today. Their contribution and role have been undeniably pivotal, and so accepting their resignation was a long and painful affair, but something I finally gave in to. Gangs was with us for just over a year, but he played a crucial role in this period – anchoring some of our key clients, as also helping me chart the road map for the Group’s next phase of growth. They will continue to be professionals I deeply respect, and so, not only do I wish them the very best, but also look forward to collaborating with them in their new venture.”
