Elephant elevates Ravi Kabara as President

MUMBAI: Strategic Design outfit Elephant has elevated Ravi Kabara as president effective August as the agency aims to strengthen its professional and operational practices. Prior to his elevation, Kabara was the vice-president, business and programme development.

Kabara has been with Elephant since 2008 when he looked after business development. He has more than 17 years of experience across marketing, brand management, business development and design. Before joining Elephant, Kabara was at Bajaj Auto across handling functions across sales and marketing for 13 years before his stint at Elephant.

Kabara said, "My aim is to achieve higher levels of growth from meaningful work. I will focus on expanding the reach of Elephant brand and augment the contribution of strategic design across clients‘ business needs. I will also ensure that quality of delivery, teams and operations remain excellent."

Elephant founder-director Ashwini Deshpande said, "Ravi brought a good balance of professionalism and business understanding at Elephant without affecting the intrinsic passion and free thinking that this profession requires. It seemed like the right time to entrust him with greater responsibility that would leave the founders with more time to mentor teams and explore newer ways of achieving innovation."

Elephant has a portfolio of brands and projects across sectors and clients including ABD, Abbott, Akzo Nobel, Axis Bank, Bausch + Lomb, Britannia, Comviva, Daimler India, Delhi Duty Free, Godrej, Godfrey Philips, Heinz, HUL, Mars, MTR, Nirlep, P&G, Piramal, Sakaal, TalentEdge, Venky‘s and Wipro.
