Sachin Talwalkar elevated as CCO at Havas Life Sorento

Havas Life Sorento has elevated Sachin Talwalker as chief creative officer. Talwalkar joined the agency in 2020 as executive creative director.

 

As CCO, he will be responsible for expanding the agency’s scope through digital health, health CX and consumer health within India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

 

Bobby Pawar, chairperson and chief creative officer, Havas Group India, said, “Sachin’s elevation is in recognition of the role he’s played in transforming Havas Life Sorento over the last few years. He has brought in better talent and has fostered a climate where they can do their best work while having fun in the process. He has evolved the creative department based on my belief that creatives with traditional and digital skills must work together so that they infect each other and, in the process, become more rounded creatives. Lastly, he’s been a great partner to me, always ready to help out with anything.”

 

Sangeeta Barde, managing director, Havas Life Sorento, said, “I am confident that with this elevation, Sachin will continue to make a difference to health and wellness communications and create a team of passionate people under him who will set the creative benchmark within the industry and the region.”

 

Talwalkar said, “The new role is testament to Havas Life Sorento’s journey in the last years. We have not only expanded in size and stature but also challenged ourselves to explore new avenues, which has set the course for us to grow and become ‘the partner agency’ in the healthcomm space in the coming years. I am excited about my new role and what’s to come.”

 

Talwalkar joined Havas after entrepreneurial stints with Cosmic Panda and Human. He has also worked with Edelman.
