Havas Creative India has announced the appointment of Tina Mansukhani Garg as president. Garg was CEO and founder, Pink Lemonade Communications, an agency formed in 2009.

Based in Bengaluru, she will report to Rana Barua, group CEO, Havas India, South East Asia and North Asia.

Her mandate includes leading the Bengaluru office while growing the agency's footprint across South India. 

Barua said, "South India is one of the most exciting and fast-evolving markets in the country, and we see immense potential for creative and business growth in the region. Tina’s appointment is a strategic move to deepen our footprint and leadership in this dynamic landscape. With her entrepreneurial spirit, deep understanding of brand-building, and proven leadership, I am confident she will help us unlock new opportunities, build stronger client partnerships, and elevate the creative ambition of our South operations. I’m delighted to welcome her to the Havas family."

Garg said, “Joining Havas Creative India marks an exciting new chapter in my journey - from building an independent agency to now being part of a global creative powerhouse. What drew me to Havas is its bold vision, its commitment to purposeful creativity, and the opportunity to work across diverse categories at scale. Havas’ unique Village model - where creative, media, and health all seamlessly collaborate under one roof, was a big draw for me, as it enables integrated, future-forward solutions for clients. Being part of a network like Havas opens up avenues to create work that’s not just compelling, but truly transformative. I look forward to building breakthrough ideas, nurturing talent, and driving meaningful impact for our clients and communities alike."

Prior to launching Pink Lemonade Communications, Garg was working with Ernst & Young.
