McCann India has elevated Pranav Kapur to senior vice president, giving him a bigger role on an account roster that includes Hero MotoCorp, Lloyd, Alpenliebe and Happydent. Kapur shared the news on LinkedIn.

  • Agency: McCann India
  • New role: Senior vice president
  • Brands: Hero MotoCorp, Lloyd, Alpenliebe, Happydent
  • Previously: Vice president, L&K Saatchi & Saatchi

Pranav Kapur's Agency Career

Before McCann, Kapur was vice president, account management at L&K Saatchi & Saatchi from June 2023 to February 2025. From May 2021 to June 2023 he was associate vice president at BBDO, working on brands including ExxonMobil, HDFC ERGO, Jack Daniel's and Milkbasket.

Between September 2017 and May 2021 he was client services director at Dentsu Creative Impact, where his Maruti Suzuki work included the WagonR launch, a revenue model for Maruti's driving schools, service operations and motorsport.

Earlier Roles

His listed roles go back to Videocon Industries, where he was deputy manager from 2016 to 2017. Earlier coverage of his move to L&K Saatchi & Saatchi in 2023 credited him with more than a decade in the business and work on brands such as Suzuki Motorcycles, Ford India and KFC. At L&K he reported to executive director Atin Wahal.

His McCann roster spans two-wheelers, air conditioners and confectionery, from Hero MotoCorp and Lloyd to Alpenliebe and Happydent, which keeps him close to the agency's automotive and consumer durables business.

Why It Matters

Kapur's experience is concentrated in automotive and consumer durables, from Maruti Suzuki at Dentsu to Hero MotoCorp and Lloyd at McCann. Those are categories where account leads manage large, multi-format launches across television, digital and dealer networks, and where long client relationships carry weight.

McCann India has not issued a statement on the promotion, and no effective date or reporting line has been disclosed.
