Among the distinguished list of global creative leaders, two standout names from India will represent the nation on this esteemed platform.
Swati Bhattacharya, Global Head of Godrej Creative Lab, Mumbai, has been named a juror on the Health & Wellness–Craft and Pharma & Medical–Craft Jury. Widely recognized as one of India’s most influential creative leaders, Swati brings to the table a unique blend of emotional storytelling and cultural insight. Her selection underscores India’s growing reputation for creativity that resonates globally, especially in the health communication space where craft plays a crucial role in impactful messaging.
Joining her is Praful Akali, Founder and Managing Director of Medulla Communications, Mumbai, who will serve on the Pharma & Medical Jury.
