Anirudh hates ads.
That’s why he tries to make ones others won’t. The cynic in him evaporates the moment he strikes an insight. From a media hack to a digital haunting, anything is game.
That took him from writing blogs to becoming Founding Partner and Sr. Creative Director at tgthr., India's youngest agency to win at Cannes. Along the way, he bagged 6 Lions, IMPACT 30 Under 30, Facebook Thumbstoppers, and repped India at the AFAA Summit in Kuala Lumpur.
While he likes skipping ads, he loves the ones that make you stay.
