Rajdeepak Das, the chairman of Leo Burnett South Asia and the chief creative officer of Publicis Groupe South Asia, has been named jury chair for the Abby Awards 2024 powered by One Show in the film (less than one minute) category.
Raj is adamant that the greatest brands can benefit from the true potential of creativity and technology when it comes to developing human-centered solutions since, after all, brands exist to serve people. Furthermore, his body of work embodies his creative vision. By constructing Bajaj motorbikes from the fabled warship INS Vikrant, he and his team gave every Indian a piece of national treasure. To lower the number of traffic accidents on Himalayan roads, they developed the first anti-collision road management system in history in partnership with the Indian government and a petroleum brand.
He developed the nation’s first microfinance system based on social media for a financial brand in India. His HumanKind approach to creativity has helped Leo Burnett India win numerous Grand Prix and metals at events such as Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, and Spikes Asia. However, Apollo 11, a specialized division of Leo Burnett India made up of what he refers to as “the mutant creatives,” is what he considers to be his greatest creation to date. He works with a group of young adults in their 20s who have backgrounds in environment science, product design, data analysis, aerospace engineering, and human resources to solve problems related to people and brands.
