    Ghadiali began his tryst with Gozoop as an Account Manager in 2012 and by 2014 rose to the position of head of strategy. He then spent two years at another firm as the head of strategy, where he played a pivotal role in landmark campaigns including crafting the strategy for the now iconic Mumbai Police account on Twitter. He returned to Gozoop in 2016 as a group director – brand communications, where he honed his business acumen while continuing to push the bar for strategy and creativity with award winning campaigns for key accounts including Hypercity, Dell, HRX, Parle Nutricrunch, Star Bharat, Viacom18, Mahindra Lifespaces and more. After nurturing and consolidating a team of 30+ strong, he moved on to spearheading the strategy division for Gozoop in 2018.

With him taking on greater responsibility, it excites me to see where we will be headed in the years to come,” adds Gozoop co-founder & director Rohan Bhansali.

    Ghadiali commented on his new role, "Gone are the days when strategy, creative and implementation happened sequentially. The ecosystem today is being built as it is experienced and with immediate feedback loops being a defining feature. With reduced attention spans and digital at the helm, marketing is experiencing a fundamental paradigm change. As I step into this new role at Gozoop, it is this change that shapes my vision for Gozoop, one that is rooted in the present but designed for the future. The dominance of digital is just beginning and so are we!"
