"With our recent rapid growth and influx of new talent, Rohit's passion for nurturing creative cultures makes him the perfect creative leader for us."

Prakash will be splitting his time between Mumbai and Delhi-NCR.

"Buffalo Soldiers are stubbornly future-forward thinking, and the opportunity for growth is unlimited. But it was the culture here that spoke to me most – a singular vision and commitment to working as one to deliver the extraordinary and make a positive difference," Prakash said on his move.

Prakash added. "I'm super pumped to join a culture that not only obsesses about creativity and innovation, but doubles down as a challenger brand. Additionally, Buffalo Soldiers is a full-stack creative agency with robust teams across digital marketing, website development, influencer marketing, video production and an incredible design studio. I see Buffalo Soldiers serving as a one-stop shop for every brand out there. "

Sujay Chakraborty, co-Founder & COO of Buffalo Soldiers said: “The agency is at an exciting point in its transformation journey and finding strategists that fit our transformed purpose is a challenging one. A robust understanding of brands, of levers of brand growth, of consumer journeys and modern marketing. With a pulse on popular and emerging culture. And above all, they need to be interesting people. Not an easy mix to find, you would agree! Rohit fits the bill perfectly".
