MUMBAI: JWT India has announced the appointment of Tarun Chauhan as the managing partner and SVP of JWT Mumbai. He rejoins the company on 23 August.

Chauhan will replace Dhunji S Wadia, who had quit recently.

Chauhan comes with an experience of over two decades in advertising. Prior to joining JWT, he was with Lowe for nine years.

In 2007, he joined Lowe Mumbai as VP and went on to become the executive director. In 2010, he was designated President of Lowe India, managing all businesses apart from Unilever.

He was responsible for Lintas Production (content, production, marketing and talent management) and driving new business across the group.

Before joining Lowe, Chauhan was with JWT and was part of the team that set up Thompson Connect, now integrated within JWT.

Commenting on the appointment, JWT CEO Colvyn Harris said, "The wheel turns full circle for Tarun and we are glad that he has come back to the JWT family. Our search for finding the best talent continues. We recently announced Adrian Miller as CCO Delhi. Tarun's joining will greatly improve our professional bench-strength."
