Hari Krishnan, Mullen Lintas’ current CEO, has decided to leave after 18 years of experience in various offices across the MullenLowe Lintas Group.
Hari is recognized for having led Mullen Lintas through a period of rapid expansion and significance beginning in 2020. In addition, there have been numerous new business wins, including those from Future Generali, Akzo Nobel, Saffola Foods, Saffola Honey, Manipal Healthcare, GRT Jewellery, ITC Fabelle, Yousta, Medimix, Hindware, and Fastrack, among others.

Together with the then-creative head Rajesh Ramaswamy (who is currently co-founder of Scriptroom), Hari led one of the best creative agency operations in the nation in terms of revenue and reputation before Mullen Lintas. Hari was President of Lowe Lintas South. They had a fantastic run together, producing some of the most iconic work for companies like Tanishq, Swiggy, Britannia, Phonepe, Flipkart, Fastrack, and so on.
