With Akshat leading the charge, I can spend time on my own book – ‘Entrepreneurship is a Bitch: How I Ended up in a Psych Ward’.”

Archit Chenoy - Director, RepIndia, adds, “We couldn’t be happier with Akshat joining the roost. He thinks like we do and is all set to bring creativity not just to the clients and brands we represent, but internally as well, imbibing a progressive approach to our culture and creative thinking.
