Ogilvy Mumbai’s creative controller shares her striking photography and top tips
Everywhere we look, Sakshi Choudhary is being lauded as one to watch and an emerging creative leader of the Indian ad scene. Last year she was featured on LBB as one of the women ‘shaking up India’s creative scene’ and she’s been lauded as ‘Next Creative Leader’ by The One Club and the 3% Conference.

But while Sakshi is undoubtedly an increasingly influential presence in a traditionally male-dominated creative market, there’s also a lot more to her than accolades. She’s straight up cool and we wanted to find out what really makes her tick. That’s why we’ve asked Sakshi for her Essential List.
