Luminous & 82.5 Instil Hope on World Environment Day
MUMBAI: On World Environment Day, Luminous wanted to play a little part in restoring belief in a better future, as individuals and as a collective. Through this video, Luminous & 82.5 Communications are trying to change people’s perspectives in a simple yet thought provoking manner.
In the past couple of months, we have seen bits and pieces of the natural world revert to its original pristine state of being. This has been a reassurance that indeed it is possible to reverse some of the damage humans have done to the environment and its biodiversity over the centuries.
However, what was needed was to undo the hopelessness in people’s attitudes towards saving the environment
82.5 Communications chairman and chief creative officer Sumanto Chattopadhyay said, “We thought it apt to use the device of ’reverse poetry’ to spread the message of reversing the damage we have caused to our planet. This message is more relevant than ever this year as we have experienced both the ill-effects of ‘disturbing nature’ as well as proof of how quickly it regenerates when left in peace."
82.5 Communications North group CD Preeta Mathur added, “As a writer, it was lovely to take on the challenge of writing reverse poetry to convey the message that there is still hope for Mother Earth – if we pledge to reverse the damage now.”
82.5 Communications president North Chandana Agarwal, “The proposition for this creative is not just in the message, but in the execution too. That’s the pleasure of working with clients like Luminous who always give us briefs that allows us to push ourselves.”

PwC India announces leadership change in Deals practice
Shashank Jain steps down as co-leader after nearly three decades with the firm.
MUMBAI: When one dealmaker steps off the pitch, another is ready to take the baton because in the fast-moving world of transactions, the game never really stops. PwC India has announced a leadership transition in its Deals practice, with Shashank Jain stepping down from his role as co-leader to pursue an opportunity in the industry. The practice will continue to be led by Mohit Chopra, ensuring continuity and sustained growth momentum.
PwC India partner and leader for advisory dinesh Arora paid tribute to Jain’s contributions. “We deeply appreciate the significant contributions made by Shashank over close to three decades he has spent with PwC, particularly his defining role in shaping and strengthening our Transaction Services practice in India,” he said. Arora highlighted Jain’s support for clients through some of the most complex and significant transactions in the Indian market, noting his deep technical expertise, sound judgment and nuanced understanding of the evolving M&A landscape.
The Deals practice remains a key growth driver for PwC India, and the firm expects continued expansion under Mohit Chopra’s leadership. He will continue to guide clients through complex transactions and transformational business moments, building on the strong foundation established over the years.
Reflecting on his journey, Shashank Jain said, “I have had an exceptional journey at PwC. I owe my growth and learning to the nurturing environment and leadership development that PwC provided.” He added that he had been working closely with Mohit and the larger team to ensure a smooth transition and expressed confidence that Chopra would take the Deals practice to newer heights.
From intern to respected deals leader, Shashank Jain has clearly closed many successful transactions and now, it seems, he’s ready to strike a new deal of his own.
