Commenting on his appointment, Saurabh Varma, CEO, The Leo Group, said, “We are delighted to welcome Kaizad to The Leo Group. Orchard, over the last year, has grown by 40 per cent YoY and has an incredible momentum. We required a leader with integrated experience to take Orchard Advertising to the next level. Kaizad, with his media-agnostic approach to brand building, is possibly the best candidate to add value to our clients’ businesses.”

I am extremely happy that I'm a part of this evolution and look forward to sharing my unique experience straddling digital and traditional advertising with my team at Orchard to help us create truly integrated experiences for our clients.”
