What’s brewing in Dentsu? Rejig sees Anand Bhadkamkar stepping down as CEO

Dentsu India is currently undergoing quite a few changes in its top rung, Adgully has learnt. With this rejig, in a surprise move Anand Bhadkamkar, CEO, Dentsu India, is stepping down from his role.

Adgully reached out to Dentsu India to confirm this news, but was yet to receive a response at the time of filing this report.

According to sources close to the development, Dentsu India has been planning the reconstitution of its top leadership for some time now. The group wants to shore up its performance in India as well as the APAC region, but has been facing a lot of interventions from different markets, the sources told Adgully.

This internal churn will see several changes in the roles of some top rung people, as well as some people moving out in the coming weeks. Some new hires are also expected.

As reported last week, Gautam Mehra, dentsu International’s Chief Data and Product Officer, quit the organisation.

Recently, Vinod Thadani joined Dentsu as Chief Digital Growth Officer for India. He has also taken on the additional role of Chief Executive Officer, iProspect India.

This is a developing story and Adgully is closely following all the developments and will keep updating this report.
