Discussing his new role, Nair says, “In a crowded market, it makes more sense to out-think the competition than waste resources trying to outperform them. Candid has been regularly creating campaigns which redefine innovations in the activations space. My brief here, in one simple word, is ‘Elevate’.”

With an experience of more than eight years in the creative and marketing field, Nair’s task will be to conceive and improvise the creative spheres of activations. His shift to Candid comes at a time when the industry is looking upbeat about the economy.
