Unmesh Pawar has been named as the advertising and marketing firm Dentsu’s chief people officer for India and South Asia. Pawar will report to Peter Huijboom, the organization’s interim CEO in India, and Luke Speers, the firm’s chief people officer for the Asia Pacific region. According to the business, he will endeavor to improve the network’s overall value offering and employee experience, pushing up its efforts to create an organization that can meet clients’ shifting expectations in this dynamic market. Pawar has worked in human resources for nearly 25 years. He has established and implemented personnel management methods while working with organizations like Accenture, Mastek, Tata, and Peerless. He was the chief people officer of KPMG in his previous position.
Speers said, “We are delighted to have Pawar join us. His experience and performance over a long period of time perfectly align with the transformational nature of developing people, strategies, and products fit for the future. The path ahead for this great market is incredibly exciting, and I very much look forward to partnering with him to enhance the way our employees experience Dentsu every day.”
Huijboom added, “Attracting and retaining key talent is crucial to continue serving our clients with excellence and passion. Unmesh will play a key role in that. The experience and expertise he brings will add value and help accelerate success.” Sunil Seth, who has been working with the network as the company’s HR director for South Asia, will keep his position there and continue to work under Pawar.
Pawar said, “It is a huge opportunity for me to build a talent-powered capability that is distinctively local. This is a fantastic opportunity to grow and deliver innovation and value, and nurture talent as we instill new levels of pride amongst our employees.” The IMARC Group estimates that the size of the Indian advertising market was $667 billion in 2021 and will increase to $1,272 billion by 2027.
