Mumbai: The managing director of BBH India, a Publicis Groupe company, Arvind Krishnan has decided to put in his papers. A BBH India spokesperson confirmed the news of his exit to IndianTelevision.com on Friday.

“Arvind has been a strong member of our team at BBH India for 13 years, ever since we started the company in 2009. He has contributed immensely to the growth and success of our organisation and we shall miss his energy & passion," said BBH India and PWW India CEO Subhash Kamath on Krishnan’s exit.

"He has decided to become an entrepreneur now and start his own venture," Kamath further said. "We wish him the very best in his future endeavours.”

Krishnan joined BBH in 2009 as a brand partner in Mumbai. He moved on to helm BBH London in 2012 before taking over as managing director of BBH India. Prior to BBH, he had a three-year stint at Leo Burnett.

“Over the past 17 years, I have steered businesses small, big, local, international, early-stage and mature across markets,” Krishnan’s LinkedIn bio reads. “I identify the key levers of growth and guide businesses in building those levers into ownable brand assets that deliver over time (and sometimes, in very little time).”
