Commenting on the development, Anil says, “I have known Nimesh from my McCann Erickson days. He was with Marico, and they were our clients. More than a client, he was a friend, and he saw future in digital long before people starting taking it seriously. I even collaborated with him on a few other things earlier. So Windchimes isn’t exactly a new place. I find the team young, energetic and ready to explore new challenges.”

It won’t be wrong if I say these days I watch TV commercials, listen to radio spots, see billboards, innovative out of home and ambient ideas or even designer packaging on a digital platform. And it’s an exciting game because you’ve to be fast in your thinking and highly innovative and entertaining if you want to get into the minds and stay in the hearts of the users.”
