MUMBAI: A very emotional Shashi Sinha announced at the Emvies that he will be stepping down as the president of the ad club and will be giving way to Pratap Bose.

DDB Mudra’s chief operating officer will take over the charge starting 10 September (Tuesday), but refused to comment on his plans for the club. “It will be unfair on my behalf to talk before the formal announcement is made next week,” says the current secretary of the Ad Club.

There are going to be a few changes in the committee as well.

In 2011, the then CEO of Lodestar Universal India Shashi Sinha had taken over the position from Bhaskar Das of the Times of India Group. In his speech at the Emvies, he had appreciated his committee members and the work done by the club. He wished the best for the club and its future endeavours.
