Mogae Group executive director Tanya Goyal said, “In the recent years a massive surge in the use of smartphones and now tablets have made it essential to adapt your web pages to meet the needs of their users.

According to the company, to achieve a balanced apprach to SEO and Pay per Click (PPC), an understanding of how the various search results and adverts are displayed across a range of popular platforms is required. It is also vital to keep up-to-date with the latest technologies and gadgets and their impact on user behaviour as well as search engine policies. Mobiwise aims to help clients through this maze and make sure their business is being found by users of the latest phones, tablets and other devices.
The users of handheld devices can view sponsored ads for business when performing relevant searches. Mobiwise will help get the best from this relatively new advertising medium, allowing users to reach out to an affluent, mobile and technologically savvy audience. The mobile pay-per-click and pay-per-call advertising services ensure that ads are delivered to potential customers even when they are browsing the internet away from their home or office.
The on-site optimisation includes mobile web analysis and SEO audit report, mobile website accessibility and usability recommendations, domain research, keyword research for mobile browsers, content optimization and HTML code optimization. Meanwhile, the off-site optimisation includes mobile search engines submission, mobile search engines optimization and marketing, submission of website in local mobile directories, link building campaign for both general as well as niche theme related website, other custom website promotion activities such as press release submission, article submission, social media marketing, niche forum and blog posting.
“At Mogae Media we are trying to provide single window solutions for the mobile medium. We believe the market is close to an explosive inflection point. Mogae, with Mobocracy and Mobiwise, will be in the forefront of mobile communication,” Goyal added.
Mogae Media was set up in October 2011 by Sandeep Goyak and Tanya Goyal, former JV partners of Dentsu in India.

Kartik Vishwanathan returns to WPP Media as VP – investments
14-year Mindshare veteran takes special assignment role from February 2026.
MUMBAI: Kartik Vishwanathan has made a sharp return on investment rejoining WPP Media, the very organisation that shaped a big chunk of his professional journey. The seasoned media executive has been appointed vice president for investments (Special Assignment) at WPP Media, effective February 2026. He will contribute to both regional and global priorities in this strategic mandate.
With over 14 years and 7 months at Mindshare, Vishwanathan brings deep expertise across investment strategy, strategic initiatives, and integration. His most recent role was Head of Investment Strategy – Mindshare China (Dec 2019–Oct 2023) in Shanghai, following his stint as Head – Strategic Initiatives and Integration – Mindshare India (Jun 2018–Nov 2019). Earlier, he served as Principal Partner at The Exchange in Mumbai (Jan 2016–Jun 2018).
Before Mindshare, he held short-term roles as Process Manager – Pricing Analytics at eClerx and Project Manager at Fractal Analytics in Mumbai.
Vishwanathan holds an Executive Programme in Business Management from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (May 2007–Apr 2008) and a Post Graduate Certification in Advertising and Public Relations from MICA (2011–2012).
His return to WPP comes at a time when the media investment landscape is evolving rapidly, with brands demanding sharper, more integrated strategies across platforms. For someone who cut his teeth at the agency group years ago, this homecoming feels less like a new chapter and more like picking up a well-worn, high-return playbook.
