Kishore said, “Agencies of the future will be shaped by people who can dig their experience as big data and can use their intuition to latch onto possibilities of tomorrow- Priyanka is one such rare talent that we are delighted to have discovered. A thorough bred professional who has under her belt 18 years of big data on building brands and business, she took time off to deepen her intuitive side through art. When I met her, I was infected by her clarity and conviction in expanding her canvas by reimagining the business of advertising.”

She’ll play the lead.”
