Creativa India bags Pan Macmillan’s digital account
MUMBAI: Digital marketing agency Creativa India has been awarded the duties for the entire spectrum of online activities for the Indian arm of the UK-based publisher Pan Macmillan.
The agency has worked with Pan Macmillan before when it undertook the online promotion duties for the book Jaal. The two parties had been in talks in this regard since then.
Creativa India founder Himanshu Bhalla said, “We will handle the entire promotion on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for Pan Macmillan India. We have already started the work with them with the online promotion of their book Jaal and its book Launch.”
“Promotion for Jaal was quite successful and we will now move on to planning the promotion of their other books. Apart from this, we‘re also involved in media planning for Pan Macmillan India”, added Creativa India co-founder Dinesh Juneja.
Pan Macmillan India is one of the leading publishing houses of India. It was set up in 1998 and began full scale publishing operations in India in August 2010. Till then, it distributed internal titles by its global counterparts in the company along with locally published titles under Picador India. Pan Macmillan India has, until recently, been publishing only under the Picador imprint. The company has now added Pan and Macmillan, two new imprints to cover its local commercial fiction and non-fiction publishing.

Emami names Dhruv Aggarwal as chief growth officer
Former Bain partner steps in as FMCG firm sharpens growth playbook
MUMBAI: Emami Limited has appointed Dhruv Aggarwal as its chief growth officer, effective 25 March 2026, following the resignation of Giriraj Bagri.
Aggarwal joins the FMCG major from Bain & Company, where he most recently served as partner. With over two decades of experience across consulting and strategy, he brings a global perspective shaped by work across India, the US, the UK and Germany.
During his tenure at Bain, Aggarwal advised consumer, retail and media companies on large-scale transformations, business turnarounds and growth strategies. He was also closely involved with India’s startup ecosystem, guiding early-stage ventures on scaling and digital expansion, while supporting private equity and venture capital firms on investment decisions.
His earlier stints include a brief role at Barclays Capital and operational experience at Jindal Power, giving him a mix of financial and industry exposure.
Academically, Aggarwal holds an MBA from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore and has also been associated with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as a PhD candidate and teaching assistant.
The appointment comes at a time when Emami Limited is looking to sharpen its growth strategy in a competitive consumer market. With a seasoned strategist now at the helm of growth, the company appears set to double down on transformation and expansion in the months ahead.
