Grey Group India has made three senior appointments to beef up its creative leadership in Delhi.

Varun Goswami joins Grey New Delhi as Executive Creative Director. His appointment comes close on the heels of Sandipan Bhattacharyya joining Grey Group India as Chief Creative Officer. Goswami's new role will see him leading the New Delhi creative team and reporting to Bhattarcharyya and Samir Datar, Vice-President & Office Head, Grey New Delhi.

Goswami joins Grey New Delhi from Cheil India, where he was Senior Creative Director and was responsible for the Samsung account.

With 12 years of experience in communications and advertising, Goswami has worked in several agencies, including JWT, Lowe and BBDO India. He has handled a number of blue-chip clients such as PepsiCo, Aviva, Hindustan Times, Honda, Nestle, Micromax, and Samsung. Goswami's creative work has consistently received recognition across national and international award festivals, including Spikes Asia, BAFTA, Abby Awards, Effie, INDY, and has won Delhi's only Gold at the Mirchi Kaan Awards 2013.

Goswami said, “This year, Grey's outstanding showing at Cannes proves they are a global creative powerhouse. To play an integral part of this movement, under the leadership of someone like Sandipan, is an opportunity I would not want to miss.”

To further strengthen Goswami's creative team, the agency has appointed two new Senior Creative Directors – Gautam Bhasin and Piyush Jain. Bhasin moves from Lowe and has worked on brands such as Policybazaar, Dabur, 7Up, HP, Maaza and Thums Up, while Jain has made a big impact on a variety of accounts, including Sprite, Vodafone, Kamasutra, Honda, GSK, Delhi Daredevils and Samsung. They will both report to Goswami.
