CO- FOUNDER & CREATIVE PARTNER, BRAVE. DESIGNER, WRITER, EX- CO- CREATIVE HEAD – DDB MUDRA WEST.
As the co-creative head of DDB Mumbai and Ahmedabad until mid-2020, Ashish used to oversee an integrated creative department with over 100 creatives – copywriters, art directors, digital designers and technologists.
Over the last decade, he’s worked closely with Rahul Mathew and Sonal Dabral
to grow DDB Mudra into a creative force that notched 2019’s top honours like
Kyoorius Agency of the Year, a silver at Campaign Brief’s Creative Agency of the Year,
second place at Effies, and glory at some of the biggest award shows like Cannes,
D&AD, One Show, Spikes Asia and Adstar.

Ashish has recently fulfilled his long term dream of writing a TV series, which he’s in
the process of pitching to studios.
