Oindrila Roy began her career at JWT (now VML) as an account executive, and then joined Lowe Lintas as senior brand services manager, and then was elevated to client services director.

Oindrila Roy, who led Publicis India as managing director, has stepped down from her position.

In a note, Roy shared, "Exactly three years ago, I walked into Publicis India with a clear purpose to build, to lead, and to nurture. What I didn't know then was how deeply it would shape me in return. Publicis India, lovingly called PI, wasn't just a role. It was a chapter. A demanding, transformative, fiercely rewarding chapter. One that stretched me in ways only leadership can. Pushing past comfort, holding vision through chaos, and learning to trust both instinct and team."

She added, "What I carry with me is not just a title or a track record, but the people, the lesson, the love. It's time now to step into a new chapter, one where I take everything I have learnt and pour it into building something of my own. A venture we call Opinion Incubator. I shall get to that one later. But before I do, I just want to say a big thank you to Publicis. For the stage, the storm and the stories. I leave with my heart full of memories, momentum and meaningful change."

Roy began her career at JWT (now VML) as an account executive, and then joined Lowe Lintas as senior brand services manager, and then was elevated to client services director.

Saatchi & Saatchi then appointed Roy as associate vice president, and then joined Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance as vice president - marketing. As the former senior vice president at Leo Burnett (now Leo), she then joined Essence as the head of strategy, India.
