Kamal Oberoi exits M&C Saatchi

M&C Saatchi India, the Indian arm of the UK-based global advertising agency, has announced that Kamal Oberoi, its India chairman and managing director, has resigned to pursue other professional and academic interests. Oberoi founded M&C Saatchi’s India operations in October 2005. 
 
On his exit, Oberoi said, “It has been great challenging and rewarding experience. I am grateful for support from all colleagues and for clients for reposing their faith in us. The company is poised for next stage of growth."
 
Chris Jaques, chief executive officer, M&C Saatchi Asia, said, “Kamal Oberoi is a legend in the industry, and rightly so. He has been an amazing leader of M&C Saatchi since the day he launched our company in India in 2005. Thanks to Kamal, M&C Saatchi is privileged to have a blue-chip client list and a first-class management team – one that is ready to take the company into the next phase of its exciting development. I would like to thank Kamal for his determination, his professionalism – and for his friendship. I wish him well in this new phase of his life, and I thank him for his extraordinary contribution to M&C Saatchi.”
