MUMBAI: Adland just got a shake-up, and BBH India is strutting into its next act.

The suits at Publicis Groupe India just played a power move in all caps. Paritosh Srivastava, already juggling CEO hats at Saatchi & Saatchi India, Saatchi Propagate, and Publicis Beehive, has now been handed the keys to BBH India. If creative chaos had a command centre, this is it.

Stepping in alongside Srivastava is the razor-sharp Snehasis Bose, who now moonlights as group chief strategy officer at BBH India, in addition to his existing remit at Saatchi & Saatchi and Saatchi Propagate. Let’s just say the BBH war room is now fully weaponised with brains, bandwidth and a boatload of brand chops.

"Humbled and excited with the additional mandate of leading BBH India," said Srivastava. "Snehasis Bose... has been instrumental in creating successes across all our brands and I have no doubt he’ll bring his magic to BBH India as well."

BBH India’s legacy already sparkles, thanks to the leadership of Himanshu Saxena (COO & MD) and Parikshit Bhattaccharya (CCO). The duo has been steering the agency into high-impact creative terrain. Now, with Srivastava and Bose added to the deck, BBH India is shaping up to be a future-ready, client-crushing machine.

Publicis Groupe India wasn’t shy about its power play either. "We have created a stellar leadership bench that will accelerate BBH India’s momentum and provide future-forward solutions to drive greater results for our clients," said the company.

If awards were handed out for leadership density, this team would be swimming in gold Lions.

The baton pass comes at a time when marketing is shapeshifting faster than Trump’s disruptive decisions. Brands need big thinking, brave ideas, and an agency that can do it all with swagger. Srivastava is set to lead BBH into that storm, armed with a team that’s more Avengers than admen.

So what’s next? Smarter strategy, bolder work, and a playbook that doesn’t just chase culture — it creates it.
