Sachdev moves in from Rediffusion-Y&R Mumbai, where she was creative head.

During her four-year stint at the agency, she worked on brands such as Levi's, ING Vysya, Nike, Van Heusen, Black Dog and Whyte & Mackay.

Sachdev began her career in 1995 as a copywriter with Everest Brand Solutions (then Everest Advertising) in Delhi, where she worked on Rotomac, Red &White and Panasonic. Three years later, she moved to MAA Bozell, working on brands such as Ray-Ban and Hewlett Packard.

After spending two years with the agency, she joined Rediffusion-Y&R Bengaluru, where she was in charge of ING Vysya, handling corporate, insurance and bank communication. She worked on ING Vysya's 'New Face of Money' corporate campaign, as well as 'Child Plan' and the 'Orange Savings Account' campaigns.

Around the end of 2005, Sachdev moved from Rediffusion Bengaluru to JWT Bengaluru.
