Agnello Dias
Ahsan Syed
MENTOR
Ahsan's expertise paves the way for growth, transforming visions into sustainable realities with a steady hand on strategy. He walks the business world with quiet humility, valuing strength in collaboration and resilience over grand gestures. For Ahsan, success isn’t chased; it’s earned through hard work, staying true, and steadying the course in any storm. To him, business is more than numbers; it’s the belief that everything falls into place when you’re doing what you’re meant to do.
Bobby Pawar
MENTOR
Bobby breathes clarity into creativity, guiding the team to find fresh perspectives and a purpose-driven approach to ideas. With thirty years in the industry, he’s led teams, won awards, and created ads that stick. A creative with grit, he’s shaped brands like Honda, Nestlé, and Burger King, making people care. His work is simple but powerful, leaving a lasting impact. Bobby knows what it takes and passes that knowledge on, mentoring those serious about making work that matters.
Manohar Nayak
MENTOR
Manohar’s craft is rooted in the richness of Indian languages—his forte and his passion. At Lingo India, he blends the sound of languages with the language of sound, creating auditory experiences that resonate deeply. With over two decades in radio production and sound design, his work has earned Cannes Lions and Abby Awards, but his true legacy lies in capturing the soul of every story. For Manohar, sound isn’t just heard—it’s felt. Pay attention, and the right sound will always find you.
Ajmal Shaikh
Founder
Ajmal believes every brand has a soul — one that prefers yellow, flirts with Futura, and quietly panics over kerning.
Born in Nanded. Schooled in commercial arts. Raised by advertising. Seasoned by filmmaking. For 25+ years, he’s helped brands find their font — and their fight. (Sometimes, even their voice-of-God tone.)
He started with a gold medal from Sir JJ Institute of Applied Arts, a Young CAG title, and a Strategic Communication Award from Leo Burnett — all before cracking the code on client-meeting footwear.
He’s worked at Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, DDB, Grey, BBH (they flew him to Hollywood; he came back with tan lines and taglines), Famous Innovations, HyperCollective, and FP7 McCann Dubai — where the AC was colder than the feedback.
His work has picked up shiny things from Cannes, D&AD, One Show, and others that don’t pay rent. So, he kept working.
He’s built for Coca-Cola, Google, Nestlé, Tata, and yes, even Volkswagen. (Name dropped. Politely.)
In 2024, he founded Partner Brand Solutions — to help people fall in love with brands before they buy. Clients include Brio, Perk Payroll, Ladida, Darpan Sundari, Positive Mantra, and Short Break.
He’s also directed for Jeep and Big Bazaar, penned Nirma Beauty Soap’s “Ho itni haseen, dhoonde titliyan…”, and helped Khalid ka Shivaji roar at Cannes.
Reads obsessively. Kerns compulsively. Still believes branding should make you feel something.
Even if that something is just:
“Damn. That looks nice.”
