Case studies

Three campaigns told from the operator's seat — the decision, the constraint, and the number — with the actual films embedded, not just described.

Brand Campaign — CEAT, 2024–25

Built for Grip, with Zoya Akhtar

Conceptualised and led a national campaign built on a single insight: even a filmmaker chasing the perfect cinematic skid can't get one out of a tyre engineered for grip. Directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi via Ogilvy, shot across dry, rain-soaked and gravel conditions in Baku — and fronted by Zoya Akhtar, who shared the film on her own Instagram, extending reach well beyond paid media.

Brand Platform — CEAT Premium/Luxury SUV

Crafted for the Curious

Led the premium/luxury SUV positioning platform behind CEAT's CrossDrive AT range — a multi-film exploration series spanning marble-city terrain and lunar-landscape shoots, built to reframe a legacy tyre brand for a curiosity-led premium buyer.
