What people are saying.

Agnello Dias

Creative Chairman, Dentsu Aegis Network India and Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer:

I have known Gita professionally for 4 years during my tenure at the Indian office of the global advertising agency Leo Burnett, headquartered out of Chicago. And thereafter to date at a personal level. 

At the time, she was a Creative Director reporting to me and worked on some of the agency's major brands like Heinz and Hitachi.

She was always conscientious about everything she did and was known for her high sense of professional integrity and sincerity. Her talent was nourished by her penchant for hard work and rigor and it resulted in her work attaining global recognition at the Cannes Lions Advertising and Marketing Festival.

In an industry dominated by mindless creativity, Gita stood out with her thorough understanding of the market place, the business of brand building and seamlessly aligning her creative ideas into the values of the company and the brand that she was working for.

As a team worker, she was unobtrusive and gelled very well with her work colleagues, most of whom gravitated towards her as a sounding board for professional and often times even personal feedback.

As her superior, I can say without doubt that the one word I can use to define her is dependable. I could always rely on her to come up with the best possible response under the circumstances, whatever the odds may be.

The agency's year-end appraisals too reflected this with special commendations coming from clients about her contribution to brand performance. Most of this can be attributed to her constant hunger to learn more, understand more and to apply what she knew to real life situations.

Gita is a rare combination of talent, hard work and discipline in a world where short cuts seem to reign supreme and she will be an asset to any organization.

Tom Gehrig

Brand Strategist, Creative Director, Educator (UC Berkeley), Visual Artist:

“It's rare that I run across a student with Gita's extensive background. Gita was a Copywriter and Creative Director at agencies in India before arriving here in the Bay Area. She enrolled in my Visual Design Principles class at UC Berkeley Extension, and it was my great pleasure to work with her. Gita would often do multiple iterations of our assignments, knowing that in the real world, that's part of the job. She has a warm and upbeat personality and is not afraid to dive in and tackle the communication challenge. I know our paths will cross again and I look forward to that. Highest possible accolades.”

Nicolas Gutierrez

Instructor (UC Berkeley), Photographer at Nick Gutierrez Photography and Creative Studio:

I met Gita during my Photoshop class at the Graphic Design program at UC Berkeley Ext. last semester. She successfully developed and delivered every project of the class. Gita has the ability to listen, observe and analyze guidelines to effectively communicate an idea with a design. During our class she demonstrated exceptional interest and commitment with her work. Gita will be a successful team member in any design firm or a valuable part of a creative team. She has a passion for design visible during the creative process and materialized in her work. Gita has great communication and personal skills, she has a warm approachable personality and is easy and fun to work with her.

Mahesh Parab

Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy:

Gita is one of the finest creative people I have ever worked with. I had the pleasure of working with her for about more than a year at McCann Erickson, Mumbai. Not only did I learn a lot from her but it was also a lot of fun working with her. She operates from a belief that the most ideal creative solution exists for every business problem and uses her creative imagination and talent to get there. A belief that’s quite evident in her career path and her diverse body of work. Gita also is deeply intuitive when it comes to pitching creative ideas and strategies to business heads. An important skill, indeed, for any advertising creative to have. I am sure she will continue to excel in her future endeavours as well. I wish Gita all the best and I'm certain she will be an asset to any organisation she joins.
