Subramaniam has worked in digital marketing and branding across JWT, Ogilvy and Publicis. His last stint was heading mobile activation for Unilever at ThinkWalnut. Ganesan has previously worked with Umbrella Design and JWT, and was Unilever India's representative to Cannes Festival in 2014.

On the announcement, Kamble, says in a press release, "Over the last five years, we realised that many of our clients were struggling when it came to digital and design. Most digital agencies today are good with the media side, but in a rush to keep churning content every day, creative ideas appear to be taking a back seat. On the other side in design houses, aesthetic sensibilities and design innovations are thriving but an understanding of brands and consumers seems to be dwindling. Garage is where design, digital and content will meet their long-lost cousins - the big ideas."

Subramaniam and Ganesan add, "When we first met Raj, he introduced us to both Garage and Famous. Famous itself has innovation at its core and with a large roster of clients, it was a tempting way to go. But, with Garage, we see the opportunity to be bolder and crazier. We are a group of people who speak the language of today's youth and know where the youth are accessing their content. We are eager to work with agile, experimentative brands that are willing to err a little on the dangerous side, if that's what it takes to connect with a 20-something year old."
