    Shreyansh Baid, Fanindra Jain & Rishi Sen launch DO

    Mumbai: Shreyansh Innovations founder & CEO Shreyansh Baid, Shreyansh Innovations Digital creative lead Fanindra Jain, and former Digitas SVP & business head & Jack in the Box Worldwide managing partner Rishi Sen, has ventured into the creative technology business with their new initiative, DO.

    DO is a creative-tech solutions company that bridges the art of storytelling with modern day interaction design and technology to deliver unique, lasting solutions. This approach focuses on impactful outcomes rather than short-term wins, offering a modern-day creative-tech stack to clients seeking custom marketing solutions rather than templated services.

    At the core of DO, the founding partners collectively contribute to over six decades of storytelling, technology and brand building experience into a company that boasts about its hyper personalized solutions, not templated services.

    As a collective of young creative technologists, DO stands at the forefront of digital innovation, turning the ordinary into extraordinary and crafting experiences that resonate long after the first click.

    DO founder & CEO Shreyansh said, “The most well-known brands of our generation are because the founder owned the story and had partners that told it simply and beautifully. We are that partner who enters the conversation with a business-first approach to identify the brand’s current position and its inflection points. What happens next is not just about technical expertise or having all the answers. It’s also about being human, connecting with people, and being able to unleash each other’s potential. This really is the basis for founding DO. The name is inspired by the karmic concept of action – continuous, relentless, in the right direction. We deeply believe in the power of our universe.”

    SVP – business, strategy & founding partner Rishi said, “In an ocean of agencies jockeying for position, we at DO stand apart—not as contenders in the usual agency race, but as dedicated specialists. We operate on a unique problem-solution model, diving deep to unravel and address each business challenge before moving on to the next. This specialist mentality is not just about solving problems; it’s about mastering them. We educate and incubate specialists, fostering a culture of continuous learning and expertise development. This approach ensures that each team member is not only equipped to tackle today’s challenges but is also prepared to think solutions for tomorrow. This deep-dive expertise is essential—it enables us to truly understand, resolve, and advance beyond the immediate, creating lasting value for our clients.

    Creative lead & founding partner Fanindra said, “This is the age of candid. Marketing has got to feel real, true, almost imperfect. Bridging brand challenges with content, media, data & tech demands all the more imagination and expertise today and we’re geared for it. Our relentless drive for DO-ing whatever it takes will stand us out.”
