Abhishek Karnani, IndIAA Awards Chairman

IAA IndIAA Awards Chairman, Abhishek Karnani said, “This is the 9th edition of the IAA IndIAA Awards, an unique creative award show that recognizes advertising excellence. The esteemed presence of the country’s top marketers, creative agencies, media agencies, production houses, PR agencies and industry leaders here tonight is a testament to the significance of this occasion.

Unlike traditional award shows, the IndIAA Awards do not rely on entries. Instead, the work has to speak for itself, just as it speaks to the consumers it aims to persuade. Another distinguishing feature of the IndIAA Awards is that the judging is carried out by senior marketers who own and invest in the brands. This brings a valuable perspective from those who truly understand the challenges and objectives of effective advertising. As we gather to recognize the best from July 2023 to June 2024, let’s also celebrate IAA’s unwavering commitment to demonstrating how creativity can be a force for good.”

Rohit Jawa, Jury Chairman, and CEO & Managing Director, Hindustan Unilever Limited

Rohit Jawa, Jury Chairman, and CEO & Managing Director, Hindustan Unilever Limited, said, “As we celebrate the ninth year of this remarkable event, I am truly honored to have served on the jury. The IndIAA Awards continue to stand out for their commitment to recognizing campaigns that genuinely impact consumers. Today’s marketing landscape is brimming with dynamic and fresh creative thinking, and it’s inspiring to see how big ideas and storytelling drive not only commercial success but also cultural influence.”
