Japa Ghosh

Twenty-five years in marketing, most of it on the client side before he was ever an agency. He built ITC’s consumer goods business across the Middle East, South East Asia, the US and Europe, ran Diesel SpA in India, and headed global marketing at Mahindra Holidays — where he launched an entirely new category of travel product in two countries and grew it past $4M.

In 2010 he ran India’s first influencer marketing campaign, when travel blogging barely existed as a word.
