Gopi as he is fondly been called in the advertising and media faternity is a brilliant media planner and strategist. My association with Gopi spans more than 15 years he has always impressed me with his understanding of the much complexed media landscape of India. I have found him hungry always for information that can help him to look at the geography in a new perspective. He is very inquisitive in order to build his understanding about the Media Brands and the foot print they cater to. He believes in building meaning ful partnerships and solutions through innovations for his clients. It is a pleasure to know him and to do business with him all these years.

I have known Gopi for more than a decade. He is one of the most astute media planners I have worked with. Gopi knows his subject exceedingly well, and as a result commands respect from his colleagues and clients who are exposed to his thinking.

Gopi is a media brain with a creative sensibility and most importantly, a genuine love for content. He has an intuitive appreciation of the power of creative ideas, which, combined with his grasp of business strategy, makes him a great asset to any team. He is a pundit who wears his knowledge lightly and allows everyone to contribute. At TBWA Gopi delivered insightful and highly effective strategies for our leading clients as well as helping bring in significant new business. I have learned a lot from his unconventional approach and contrarian thinking and enjoyed the way he made the strategic development process seem effortless and fun. With the very definition of media changing every day, every team needs someone like Gopi to help make sense of it all and spot the latent brand opportunities in the new landscape.

One of the very few Media Shapers available at present, who could look at shaping up media by understanding the client’s business from the grass-root levels (as against developing media plans from mere briefs). He has the knowledge and expertise of both the stakeholders – client as well as media owners, which is a lethal combination for media planning.

Gopi is one of those rarities – a indefatigable professional who seeks total involvement in every assignment. He chooses to come in at the beginning and contribute to furthering the creative idea, often providing a fresh perspective. Enthusiastic and a laugh a minute, he is fun to work with. I also noticed that his team in media were extremely fond of him and held him in great esteem.

I worked with Gopi many years ago when we were colleagues at the agency. Gopi was a rare media planner in those days– he combined rich understanding of the media function with the demands of business and marketing and always sought to drive value that helped improve marketing efficiencies for clients. It was this business savvy that endeared him to clients. ROI was not a fashionable term in those days but Gopi was always focussed on real deliveries of media plans, not just input measures. In addition, he had a phenomenal network in the media fraternity and that ensured that his clients always got an abundance of softer media values over and above the hard deliveries of media targets. Aside from professional competence, Gopi was a treat to work with. His disarming demeanour and great sense of humour made sure that the long hours at work felt light and easy. I am sure in all these years Gopi has enhanced his strengths and become even better at the strategic orientation he pioneered in the early 90’s. In addition, his enormous networking skills would have been honed even more now and would hold him in good stead in whatever he seeks to do. Gopi is a real asset and will be cherished wherever he goes. I wish him the very best in life.
