Speaking to agencyfaqs!, Bhasin says, “I am looking forward to the awards. It’s an excellent opportunity to have a look at the some of the world’s best creative work. The work gives one new insights into how ideas and concepts are treated by people across the globe. The distinct cultural and regional flavour of a region or a country is reflected in different projects and it all makes for a great creative showcase.”

Recounting his enjoyable experience last year at the Cannes Lions, Bhasin says, “It is always great fun sharing ideas with the best creative minds. Moreover, over the years, Indian advertising and advertisers are taken pretty seriously by the world at large and our opinion is highly regarded. So, I look forward to having a go at the world’s best art works.”
