In a recent development, Sagar Mahabaleshwarkar, chief creative officer at Cheil WW India, has quit the agency. Mahabaleshwarkar had been with the agency since December, 2015.
Mahabaleshwarkar has decided to move on from the organisation to pursue new opportunities. Emmanuel Upputuru will be replacing Sagar with effect from October 2018.
An official statement says, “We would like to thank Sagar for his contribution towards building Cheil’s creative reputation and wish him good luck in all his future endeavours.”
Sagar adds, “I would like to thank Cheil for giving me the opportunity to lead Cheil’s creative capability. It is endearing to see Cheil’s creative ranking moving up in Top 10. This has been possible because of a committed and talented team and the great work done by them. I would also like to thank all my clients who have always supported us and showed faith in us. Lastly, I would like to wish Emmanuel all the best and hope to see Cheil achieving greater heights.”
