Assisting Chandwani is Prabhakar Mundukur
who has joined as chief operating officer. He was earlier with J Walter
Thompson where he worked as business development director.
Pant, who would have been based out of Dubai, was given the responsibility
of setting up a whole new division in Posterscope MENA, but has decided
instead to explore new opportunities.
Percept is now scouting for a CEO of Posterscope MENA to replace
Pant. The Indian operations of Posterscope started in 2003 and the
company quickly rose to become the top five outdoor agencies in
the country. It has clients like Airtel, Pilsbury, Pantaloon, Sahara
India and Afro Asian Games.
Pursuing its global plans, Percept Group's celebrity management
and event marketing arm Percept D'Mark (PDM) recently set up its
international operations out of Dubai. Sanjay Lal, who was founder
and executive director of PDM India, has moved to Dubai as managing
director and CEO of PDM International. Preeta Singh, earlier with
O&M, has been put in charge of PDM India.
Pant, meanwhile, has joined Mirza Tanners Ltd (makers of the well
known footwear brand Red Tape) as director for a new division that
the company has launched. Pant has been appointed as director Red
Tape Asia, his ambit being to expand the Red Tape product line beyond
just high-end footwear into a fashion brand. Pant will also have
the responsibility of setting up a retail chain of Red Tape "lifestyle"
stores across Asia and the Middle East (India included of course).
