Sambit Mohanty to Lead McCann Bangalore as Executive Vice President

McCann Bangalore

McCann Worldgroup has elevated Sambit Mohanty to the role of Executive Vice President – McCann Bangalore, effective next month. The appointment follows the upcoming exit of Vishal Ahluwalia and signals a fresh leadership phase for the agency’s southern operations.


A Dual Role with Broader Impact

In this new role, Mohanty will lead both business and creative functions for the Bangalore office. His expanded responsibilities reflect McCann’s ongoing focus on integrated leadership, combining strategic direction with creative excellence.

Based in Bangalore, Mohanty will report directly to McCann India’s national leadership team. The group is headed by Prasoon Joshi, who welcomed the appointment.

“It’s exciting to see talent grow from within,” said Joshi. “We continue to rely on the creativity and depth of our people to drive client success.”


Over Two Decades of Creative Expertise

Mohanty brings more than 20 years of industry experience to the role. He is widely known for his sharp creative instinct and strong understanding of brand strategy. His career has been defined by bold ideas that align with business goals.

“Stepping into this expanded role is tremendously exciting,” Mohanty said. “I look forward to pairing creative thinking with sharper business focus. Together, we’ll build ideas that spark impact, drive innovation, and deliver meaningful value.”


A Seamless Transition After Leadership Exit

This leadership move comes as Vishal Ahluwalia prepares to leave the agency at the end of next month. While transitions can bring change, McCann’s internal move ensures continuity and strategic alignment in a fast-changing industry.

The appointment of Mohanty also reflects the agency’s evolving leadership philosophy—placing creatively driven, business-savvy leaders at the helm of its regional branches.


Creativity Meets Leadership at McCann

By promoting Sambit Mohanty, McCann is reinforcing its belief in homegrown leadership that understands both brand storytelling and business outcomes. The agency continues to focus on blending culture, creativity, and commerce—especially as the market evolves rapidly.

With this step, McCann Bangalore looks poised for a dynamic new chapter.
