Samyu is an award winning art director and designer. With a degree in advertising from Savannah College of Art and Design, she has an impressive track record of success, having worked with industry leaders such as Ogilvy Mumbai and Wunderman Austin before joining as part of the founding team at Talented – a company born in 2022 with the ambition to reimagine the agency experience for creative talent. Her past displays an exceptional body of work that has been honoured by top bodies like Cannes Future Lions, Clios, The American Advertising Federation, Adobe Design, Kyoorius, and Effies.

Samyu is constantly trying to push cultural norms wherever she is and is known to look at every piece of  work with an inclusive lens. She was able to turn the most masculine and popular sport in India, cricket, into a movement for women with Cadbury Good Luck Girls. Her active contributions to the agency business are already remarkable, and she has an innate sense of responsibility to contribute to a larger cause.

She’s part of the leadership board at Indian Creative Women – an organisation working to promote gender diversity in the Indian advertising industry – and the co-founder of Ladies, Wine & Design Chennai – an initiative by Jessica Walsh to empower women and non-binary designers.
