Moves from Wunderman Thompson

Havas Worldwide India brings in Kundan Joshee
Havas Worldwide India has announced the appointment of Kundan Joshee as managing partner and head – West and South. He joins the agency from Wunderman Thompson, where he was SVP and managing partner. 
 
Joshee will be based in Mumbai and report to Tarun Jha, CEO, Havas Worldwide India. 
 
Jha said, “Havas Worldwide India has been witnessing an impressive growth trajectory and the agency has entirely restructured its leadership team to support this rapid expansion. Kundan is a seasoned industry professional, with a great track record of building businesses and managing large outfits. He will be a natural fit in our ambitious senior leadership team of Anupama, Anirban and Jaibeer Ahmad, managing partner – North and East. With Jaibeer helming the North and East India markets, Kundan’s addition will help us drive value, optimise revenue, and expand the ever-growing client portfolio of Havas Worldwide India as he takes the reigns of our business in the West and South regions. We all welcome him aboard and look forward to him making a meaningful difference to the brands that we lovingly nurture.”
 
Joshee said, “The collaborative spirit of Havas and its employees is one of the first things that drew me to the agency—it is infectious, it is exciting, and it is very unique. The ‘village’ model of integration is conceptually something that our industry has been striving towards but to see it in action—and now be a part of it—is something that I look forward to. I am thrilled to be joining Havas Worldwide India at such an interesting juncture in the agency’s ascent. My hope is to leverage my learnings to add value to our clients' businesses and foster genuine and positive client relationships, on the back of the integration model and some truly impactful work.” 
 
In a career spanning close to 25 years, he has also worked with Ogilvy, FCB, Cheil Worldwide and Grey Group.
