In Ambience handled Lakme, TVS Motors, Godrej Washing Machines, Parachute, SIL Jams, and Whisper and at Publicis India he is working on Garnier, Globus and Fidelity, informs an official release.

He started his carrier at O&M in 1993. Moved to Ambience where he spent six-seven years. Later he joined R.K. Swamy BBDO for a year and a half with them and then moved to Publicis India (Mumbai) where he has been for nearly two years.

Nayyar said, "It's a great honour and privilege to be chosen to judge one of the leading global award competitions. Being chosen once again reinforces the fact that creative work and creative people from India are being recognised around the world."

Each NYF competition is supported by a Board of Judges and Advisors, each of which is led by a chairperson and represents a veritable "who's who" of international communications. Entries are judged by panels of international award winning creatives who are recognized as leaders in their respective fields.
