Satish Nair Named CEO Of WPP Production, India
Satish Nair has been named Chief Executive Officer of WPP Production's India operations.
- Incoming: Satish Nair
- Role: CEO, WPP Production India
- Retains: Chief Client Officer, APAC, WPP Production
- Previously: Over a decade at Hogarth Worldwide, including Global Chief Growth Officer and Managing Director, Global Clients
- Succeeds: Karthik Nagarajan, who steps down after nearly four years as India CEO
A Dual Mandate Across India And APAC
Nair takes on the India CEO role while continuing to hold his regional position as Chief Client Officer for APAC at WPP Production, giving him a mandate that spans both the India operation and the wider region rather than a clean handover from one job to the next. His appointment follows more than a decade at Hogarth Worldwide, WPP's global content production company, where he held leadership positions including Global Chief Growth Officer and Managing Director, Global Clients, before moving into the APAC role at WPP Production in March 2024.
Following An AI-Led Production Push
Nair steps into the India CEO role after Karthik Nagarajan's near four-year run, a period in which WPP Production's India business shifted toward AI-led content production and expanded its scale. Nair's own career, spanning more than 20 years across WPP network companies including TEQUILA\TBWA, FutureBrand, JWT and Publicis, positions him to continue that direction, with his appointment aligned to the unit's ongoing focus on AI-led production and scaled content creation.
