Momentum builds when everyone moves with a shared purpose. The September Townhall brought the Havas Media Network India family together for a conversation that went beyond business updates. It was a moment to reflect on our journey, celebrate the progress we've made, and align on the ambitions that will define our next chapter. Led by @mohitjo, CEO, Havas Media Network India, the session highlighted the momentum across our network, the strength of our talent, and the opportunities we're creating for our clients and partners. Adding to the energy, team members showcased some of the standout campaigns executed during August bringing to life the ideas, creativity, and impact that continue to shape our growth story. What made the afternoon special was the unmistakable spirit of hashtag#OneHavas different expertise, shared purpose, and one collective ambition to grow together. Because Growth Powered by Desire isn't just our belief; it's the mindset that drives us to challenge conventions, create lasting impact, and keep raising the bar every single day. @Havas | @HavasMediaGroup | Havas India | @HavasPlay | @PivotRoots @ranabarua | @pritharules | @uday_mohan | @shibudotcom | @hetalkhalsa13 | @tabassummodi | @Archiki | @IamCRK | @sparshganguli Roopali Sharma | Sonal Jadhav | Sujata Singh | Manish Sharma | Ramsai Panchapakesan | Binu Thomas | Noletta Luis | Pulkit Grover Praveen Joshi | Ashok Shinde | Jinit Shah | Nixan Crasto | Kapil Nair | Rishabh Shrivastav #GrowthPoweredbyDesire #OneHavas 📷

Every commuter knows the question: How bad is the traffic today? Traffic updates come from different sources, making it difficult to get a clear view of the traffic situation. So, what if traffic could be understood as simply as the AQI? For @HyundaiIndia, @innoceanindia and Havas Media India, in partnership with Mirchi, developed the Traffic Quality Index (TQI) a tech-led platform that provides a simple, standardised way to understand live traffic across seven cities. Inspired by the AQI, TQI turns complex traffic data into a 1–10 rating, with 🟢 1-3 Green, 🟡 4-7 Yellow and 🔴 8-10 Red. At the heart of it is a technology platform developed by Havas Media India, bringing together mapping data, Radio Mirchi's hyperlocal intelligence and traffic authority inputs to create one clear, real-time traffic rating. And through Radio Mirchi's live programming, that intelligence reaches commuters when they need it most. Growth Powered by Desire turning technology and data into everyday utility. @Havas | @HavasMediaGroup | Havas India | @HavasPlay @HyundaiIndia | @innoceanindia | Mirchi Tarun Garg | Virat Khullar | Deepessh D | Parul Sharma | Rupali Sood Berry | Shubhankar Singhvi Santosh P.

Every year, Onam brings Kerala together for the Nehru Trophy Boat Race, a celebration of pride, community and tradition that has stood strong for over 7 decades. For the 72nd edition, @HavasPlay India brought Tata Trucks – Desh Ke Trucks (@TataMotorsCV) to the heart of that celebration as the Official Title Sponsor. From iconic Chundan Vallam boats and branded pavilion to fan experiences, Radio Mango integrations and creator-led storytelling, Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles became part of the race in ways that felt authentic to the occasion. Because Growth, Powered by Desire is about building brands around what people truly care about, the partnership doesn’t end at the finish line. Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles branding will remain on the Nehru Trophy Boat Race Pavilion for the upcoming few months, keeping the brand connected to the celebration long after race day. A story of culture, connection and a brand that chose to belong. @Havas | @HavasMediaGroup | Havas India | @HavasPlay @TataMotorsCV Deepanjan Roy | Mayank Raizada @ranabarua | @pritharules | @mohitjo | @uday_mohan | @shibudotcom | @hetalkhalsa13 | @Archiki | @tabassummodi | @sparshganguli | @IamCRK Sonal Jadhav | Binu Thomas | Manish Trivedi | Uditvanu Das | Shyamkumar S | Prachi Baranwal | Atharva Loya

This month, the Havas Media Network India townhall brought our teams together from Havas Village Mumbai to reflect on how far we’ve come, celebrate the milestones along the way and, most importantly, look ahead. With @ranabarua, Group CEO-India, SEA & North Asia (Japan & South Korea), joining @mohitjo, CEO, Havas Media Network India, the conversation spanned across our business, our talents and the opportunities that lie ahead. But beyond the numbers, milestones and plans, there was something bigger in the room: the spirit of #OneHavas - different teams, different perspectives, one ambition. And supercharging it all is our belief in Growth Powered by Desire. The desire to think bigger, push further and challenge what’s possible, together as #OneHavas, turning ambition into momentum and momentum into growth. @Havas | @HavasMediaGroup | @HavasPlay | Havas India @ranabarua | @pritharules | Pritesh Bhatnagar | @uday_mohan | @shibudotcom | @hetalkhalsa13 | @tabassummodi | @Archiki | @sparshganguli @IamCRK | Sanchita Roy | @Roopali_AS | Sonal Jadhav | Sujata Singh | @sharmamanish8 | @ramsaidelhi | Binu Thomas | Noletta Luis | Pulkit Grover Praveen Joshi | Ashok Shinde | Jinit Shah | Nixan Crasto | Kapil Nair | Rishabh Shrivastav

Something incredible is happening in sports right now and it's only just getting started. Women's sport is rising. Not just in viewership or headlines, but in the hearts of fans, the boardrooms of brands, and the strategies of marketers who finally see what a movement was always there full of passion, power, and real commercial potential. @NarayanPrachi, Managing Partner at @HavasPlay India, joined @Campaign_India for an exciting conversation off the back of the Havas Play x KPMG report unpacking what it truly means to show up, to build, and to grow alongside women's sport rather than just cheer from the sidelines. Because the fans are watching. And that's the most exciting opportunity in sports right now.

Powering India's 'Better Always' Moment When @TataMotorsCV set out to redefine its identity post-demerger, Havas Media India shaped the media strategy to make it resonate across every screen, every audience, every corner of the country. The 'Better Always' corporate campaign wasn't just a media rollout. It was a nationwide conversation. One unified narrative connecting commercial vehicle drivers, fleet owners, mechanics, bodybuilders, financiers, investors, and business leaders alike, anchored in progress and purpose. From ICC Men's T20 integrations to prime-time news innovations, Meta Moment Maker to cross-screen synchronisation across TV, CTV & Digital every touchpoint was designed for scale and impact. The result? 56 million in unified reach at 3+ frequency. 1,000+ GRPs on TV. A powerful brand repositioning. A standout media milestone. And a proof of what happens when strategic thinking is grounded in cultural context. This is what Growth Powered by Desire looks like. @Havas | @HavasMediaGroup | Havas India @TataMotorsCV @ranabarua | @pritharules | @mohitjo | @uday_mohan | @IamCRK | Sonal Jadhav | @NarayanPrachi | Binu Thomas Manish Trivedi | Dharini Desai | Premal Mistry | Sumeet Berde | Uditvanu Das | Deeti Dalal | Praveen Kotian | Prashant Parab | Ashish Pandey | Prachi Baranwal | Shyamkumar S #BetterAlways #TataMotorsCommercialVehicles #HavasMediaIndia #GrowthPoweredByDesire

Not everything that shifts a room is visible. At this month's Havas Media Network India Townhall Unplugged, the energy didn't come from one direction. @mohitjo CEO, Havas Media Network India opened the floor, and what followed was a relay leaders stepping in, each adding a layer, each reinforcing what growth powered by desire actually looks like from the inside. Different voices. Same conviction. The kind of alignment that doesn't happen by accident it's built, conversation by conversation, townhall by townhall, by people who genuinely want more for the network and the work it does. That hunger was everywhere in that room.

We are proud to share that Q1 has set the tone for what this year is going to look like with recognition pouring in across Havas Media, @HavasPlay India, @ArenaMedia India, and @PivotRoots . The awards were many, but what they reflect runs deeper. At Havas, we believe that growth isn't incidental it is desired, pursued, and earned. This quarter was a living proof of that belief. Teams that moved in sync, ideas that pushed harder, and execution that refused to settle all anchored in a shared conviction that desire is what separates good work from great work. None of this happens without the clients who walk this journey with us. They bring us into the briefs that matter, the decisions that are hard, and the ambitions that stretch us. It is their trust that sharpens our thinking, and their growth that ultimately measures ours. To each of our clients thank you for believing in what we build together. And to every team across the network this recognition is a reflection of your commitment, your craft, and your collective drive to deliver nothing short of excellence. Q1 is behind us. But the desire that drove it? That doesn't clock out. Growth, Powered by Desire. @Havas | @HavasMediaGroup | Havas India @myvoltas | @Swiggy | @TataMotors | @sturlite | @KiaInd | @magicbricks | @JoyalukkasIndia | @MXPlayer | @atherenergy | @HyundaiIndia | @PUMA | @VoltasBeko | @VGuardOfficial @ranabarua | @pritharules | @mohitjo | @uday_mohan | @shibudotcom | @hetalkhalsa13 @IamCRK | Sanchita Roy | @ramsaidelhi | @Roopali_AS | Sonal Jadhav | Sujata Singh | @sharmamanish8 | @NarayanPrachi Nixan Crasto ​| Ashok Shinde | Praveen Joshi | Kapil Unnikrishnan Nair | Rishabh Shrivastav​ | Shadman Ahmed | Jinit Shah | Abhimanyu Vyas​ | Chandramouli P. #HavasProud #Q1momentum #GrowthPoweredByDesire

India’s sporting economy is being rewritten, and women’s sport is at the centre of that shift. Unveiled at Manifest Play, marking Havas Play’s second year of association with the platform, our latest report, ‘Women’s Sport at an Inflection Point’, powered by KPMG India, convenes marketers, athletes, and industry leaders around a market that has already transitioned from potential to performance. This is not a phase of discovery. It is a phase of acceleration, defined by scale, sharpened by influence, and underpinned by growing commercial returns. Viewership is compounding. Cultural relevance is deepening. Brand integration is becoming more strategic, more intentional, and more measurable. What is emerging is a high growth ecosystem that demands a recalibrated approach, from how brands invest, to how they build equity, to how they unlock long term value. The mandate is clear. Align early, invest meaningfully, and build with conviction in a market that is scaling faster than legacy playbooks can keep up.
