DDB Mudra Group on Monday announced the appointment of Saad Khan as president and managing partner - growth & strategy.

Prior to joining the DDB Mudra Group, he worked with Interpublic Group-owned creative agency FCB Ulka overseeing strategy in Mumbai and Bengaluru.

We’ve always believed our core to be great creativity built on strong thinking.

His strategic expertise specifically in building the Tata Motors' brand has played a significant role in its success within the EV category.

Speaking on his role at DDB Mudra Group, Khan states, “It’s been around 21 years since Rahul and I worked together. My recent chats with him made me realise that we are still as passionate about advertising as we were a couple of decades ago. I am looking forward to hitting the road with him once more.”
