HoABL soars high with dazzling Nagpur sebut
MUMBAI: The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), India’s largest branded plotted land developer, announced its grand arrival in Nagpur with a show-stopping aerial display over the city’s iconic Futala Lake.
On 4 November 2025, three paramotor pilots painted the skies with massive banners, heralding HoABL’s foray into the Orange City and teasing its upcoming project, Nagpur Marina. Inspired by waterfront living, the development promises over 40 world-class amenities designed to bring together leisure, wellness, and celebration, a first-of-its-kind lifestyle for Nagpur.
“Nagpur is fast becoming a powerhouse in Maharashtra’s growth story,” said HoABL CEO Samujjwal Ghosh. “Our entry here marks not just a new project, but a new chapter in how land is experienced, as a legacy built on trust, transparency and enduring value.”
With its central location and growing connectivity through the Samruddhi Mahamarg and Smart City initiatives, Nagpur’s rise as a hub for premium living perfectly mirrors HoABL’s philosophy of creating spaces that breathe and evolve.
Adding to the creative flair, chief marketing officer Saurabh Jain said the lake display reflected HoABL’s approach to “turn land into lifestyle” through immersive brand experiences.
As the skies over Futala shimmered with banners and buzz, HoABL’s message was crystal clear, Nagpur’s real estate story just took flight.

Prakash Nair reportedly quits Ogilvy after 23 years
One of the agency’s longest-serving leaders has moved on, with his next destination still unknown
MUMBAI: After more than two decades at one address, Prakash Nair has left the building. The president and head of office, north at Ogilvy has moved on from the agency, according to highly placed industry sources. His next move remains unknown. Ogilvy did not respond to requests for comment.
Nair spent over 23 years at the agency, making him one of its longest-serving senior figures. He was elevated to lead the Gurugram office in April 2022, a role that put him at the helm of Ogilvy’s northern operations at a time of considerable churn across the advertising industry.
Before taking charge in the capital, Nair served as associate president at Ogilvy Mumbai, where he worked on some of the agency’s most prized accounts, including Mondelez, Tata Motors, and BP Castrol. Over the years, he built a reputation for driving modern, integrated, and award-winning work, the kind that wins metals at Cannes and keeps clients from straying.
His departure was marked in style. A farewell gathering was held in Delhi, attended by senior figures from across the advertising fraternity, a signal of the regard in which Nair is held in an industry that does not always pause to say goodbye properly.
Where he goes next is the question the industry is now asking. After 23 years at one of the world’s most storied agencies, the answer, when it comes, will be worth watching.
