On the wins, Amit Wadhwa, CEO India, Dentsu Creative India said, "What an incredible streak of success! Two metals in two days. I am super thrilled. My heart brims with immense pride for our brilliant team and the entire force of Dentsu Creative. This well-deserved Bronze is just the beginning of the recognition they truly deserve, and there's undoubtedly more greatness to come."

Aalap Desai, Chief Creative Officer, Creative Experience, West, DENTSU CREATIVE India said, "Suraksha ka Teeka is special. So much luck and love have been poured into it that winning today feels awesome. The client, Saurabh Jain at Mortein, believed in it as soon as he heard about it. The collaboration and dedication within the team were flawless. The timing and effectiveness of the product are wonderful. We are extremely proud and happy that all of this is being recognized. Fingers crossed for the other shortlists."

Sharing the excitement, Gautam Reghunath and PG Aditiya, Co-founders, Talented, said: “We’re not going to lie. Last year was amazing. This one kind of feels even better and means so much to all of us. We’ve just celebrated our first-year anniversary at Talented and three metals at Cannes Lions were certainly not part of the agenda for year-1. Both the Swiggy and Cleartrip works that have been awarded are an excellent representation of the brand of creativity we want to champion. Stuff that transcends mediums. We hate to go into cliched territory but there is no way some of the directions that both these campaigns took would ever see the light of day without champion clients, technology and film partners, like the ones we were lucky to partner with. They were equal co-creators through it all.”
