With over 13 years of leadership experience in the Malaysian market, Amit takes on this significant role with a vision to further elevate the agency’s operations and drive client impact across various sectors, including creative, media, influence, production, commerce, data, and technology.

The client-centric design of the Groupe, the people I have met through the process and the ambition have me excited. Delivering client impact and uniting our teams across practices in service of that agenda is something that I am really looking forward to achieving.”
Meanwhile, Amrita commented,
“We are excited that Amit has chosen Publicis Groupe as home for the next chapter of his career. Malaysia has a unique role in the design of our Southeast Asia organisation as a center of excellence powering functions from data to performance media and production.”
She added,
“As my leadership team and I met and got to know Amit, it became clear that not only were we meeting someone who had the entrepreneurial spirit and depth of technical capability across functions but someone who already felt like he was part of our team in the way he thought of the market, its talent and our collective future.”
This appointment marks a strategic move for Publicis Groupe Malaysia, further solidifying its position as a center of excellence within the Southeast Asia region.
