IAA India partners with BrandMusiq to launch its sonic identity
MUMBAI — The International Advertising Association (IAA) India Chapter, the country’s only cross-industry body uniting advertisers, agencies, and media professionals, has partnered with BrandMusiq—Asia’s pioneering sonic branding agency—to launch its sonic identity.
In a world where brands are increasingly defined by how they make us feel, IAA’s new sonic identity offers a bold and emotionally resonant way to experience the brand—not just see it or read it, but hear it.
As a part of the collaboration, BrandMusiq has crafted a distinct Mogo (musical logo) and an immersive Mogoscape—a rich sonic environment that reflects IAA’s archetypes: the Hero (courageous, inspiring) and the Creator (imaginative, expressive). Rooted in Indian aesthetic philosophy, the identity draws from the Rasas of Veera (inspiration), Adbhuta (awe), and Karuna (empathy)—echoing IAA’s purpose to lead, uplift, and connect with heart.
IAA president India Chapter Abhishek Karnani shared, “IAA has always stood for ideas that move industries forward. With this sonic identity, we now have a new language—one that’s emotionally alive and future-facing. It reflects who we are today and who we hope to become tomorrow.”
BrandMusiq founder & soundsmith, Rajeev Raja added, “IAA isn’t just an institution—it’s a creative spirit that brings people together across borders and disciplines. The Mogoscape we’ve created is more than a sound—it’s a musical embodiment of courage, curiosity, and care.”

Cars24 co-founder Gajendra Jangid steps down amid leadership churn
Exits of CEO Himanshu Ratnoo and Ankit Bhalla add to top-level reshuffle
NEW DELHI: Cars24 has seen further top-level changes with co-founder Gajendra Jangid stepping down, adding to a series of senior exits at the company in recent months.
According to media reports, Jangid conveyed his decision in an internal communication to employees, stating that he had been considering the move for some time. He noted that there comes a stage when a company no longer relies on its founders to keep progressing, adding that it felt like the right moment to step back.
His exit follows a period of notable leadership churn at the Gurugram-based company. Recently, Himanshu Ratnoo stepped down as chief executive officer, while Ankit Bhalla also exited the organisation, signalling movement across key roles.
Responding to the development, Vikram Chopra acknowledged Jangid’s contribution, crediting him for shaping the brand, driving its marketing direction, and supporting the development of key teams and platforms within the ecosystem.
With multiple senior departures in quick succession, the company appears to be entering a phase of internal restructuring as it continues to scale its used car business in a competitive market.
