Orchard ropes in Sharmine Panthaky to head Mumbai

Orchard Advertising has got in Sharmine Panthaky as vice president and branch head of its Mumbai office. Prior to this she was national head – retail and customer engagement at Interspace Solutions. 

 

Kaizad Pardiwalla, COO, Orchard Advertising, said, "Sharmine joins us having had rich experience in business development and leading many national and multinational client relations. In her we found the unique ability to define the purpose for brands and devise business solutions that could unlock their true potential in the market. She will work with a multi-disciplinary team across The Leo Group India’s specialised offerings in digital, retail, activation, etc., thus helping to drive an integrated communication initiative on the brands we partner. I wish her the very best in taking Orchard to new heights.”

 

Panthaky said, "Orchard has a legacy of great work on brands anyone would be proud to have on their roster. The leadership team has inspiring and exciting plans for the future. The opportunity to be part of this great journey was a no-brainer. Since I’m joining mainstream advertising with Orchard after having spent many years in Out of Home, BTL and other disciplines, it gives me great joy and a feeling of being back home. I’m excited to partner clients and contribute hugely in getting great work out, thus helping to grow the agency’s business."

 

In a career spanning 13 years, she has also worked with Bates CHI and Partners, Clear Channel Mudra, Contract Advertising, Portland India and Radio Mirchi.
