This is Motwani’s first brush with the insurance industry, but it is her second stint on the client’s side; GM was the first one. However, she had worked with automobile company clients while she was still in advertising. For instance, while she was with Mudra Communications (1993-2000), she handled brands such as Mitsubishi Lancer and Ambassador. In fact, she was part of the team that created the communication that elevated Mitsubishi Lancer’s brand image.

No senior executive or Motwani could be contacted to confirm the news. Besides Euro RSCG and Mudra, Motwani has worked with Leo Burnett, McCann-Erickson and Clarion (Bates).
