Based in Mumbai
Hemant is currently the Chief Creative Officer at FCB Ulka, a very recent shift after his 11-year-long stint at BBDO under the same designation.
Starting his career all the way back in 2005 as a Copywriter at Saints and Warriors, today, Hemant has grown to become a new-age creative leader, perpetually championing intriguing stories and breaking stereotypes. He understands the pulse of the society and weaves narratives that tackle them head-on, always leaving a lasting impact on the audiences.
He has been listed among Campaign Asia's 40 Under 40, and has twice been titled the Creative Person of the Year, South Asia (2016 and 2021). He has also been labelled the 13th most awarded Executive Creative Director in the world. These awards include a string of Grand Prix and Golds across prestigious award shows like the Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, AdFest, SpikesAsia, along with India's first White Pencil at D&AD Impact awards.
Last year, Hemant had the honour of serving as Jury President at Adfest and as a jury member for the Cannes Lions Direct category and YouTube Works Awards. This year, he joined the awarding jury for Cannes Lions Health & Wellness and also participated on the jury panels for the Kyoorious Creative Awards and MadStars.
Some of his notable work includes Ariel #ShareTheLoad, which was ranked as the worlds #1 campaign in the WARC 100 list two years in a row, and Whisper #TouchThePickle.
His brand portfolio also includes Gillette, Visa, WhatsApp and eBay.
