Putting an end to his more than five-years long journey with the Publicis Groupe by calling it quits as Vice President of Leo Burnett, Varun Kohli has now joined Grey India, part of WPP’s AKQA Group, as its new Senior Vice President Business- North.
In his new role at Grey India, he will be reporting to Anusha Shetty, Chairperson and Group CEO, Grey India.
Coming with over 15 years of versatile experience across marketing, strategy, and client leadership roles, he brings a wealth of expertise to further strengthen Grey’s presence in the North region. That being said, his journey has been nothing short of inspiring as he started off as a graduate in hospitality and later shifted his focus to marketing and honed his skills at leading agencies like JWT Group, Ogilvy, and Leo Burnett.
Having worked with global brands like Pepsi, GSK, Toshiba, and Nikon across EMEA and APAC regions, Kohli’s strategic approach and international perspective is believed to play a pivotal role in driving Grey’s business growth and client success and his diverse portfolio includes experience across varied sectors such as healthcare, automobiles, FMCG, education, and nutrition.
Commenting on his appointment at Grey India, Kohli said, “Grey has a legacy of pushing creative boundaries and delivering impactful solutions. I am excited to join this talented team and contribute to its vision of creating ideas that move people and businesses forward. Together, we will focus on progress, innovation, and building meaningful client partnerships.”
Speaking on the appointment, Anusha Shetty, Chairperson and Group CEO, Grey India, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Varun to the Grey family. His experience, and passion for building brands align perfectly with our vision of delivering famously effective work for our clients.”
