IMPACT unveils the 2024 batch of Top 30 Under 30

IMPACT Top 30 Under 30 has consistently honoured the brightest young professionals in the agency world. This flagship initiative of IMPACT Magazine, under the exchange4media Group, celebrates the future trailblazers in a grand event attended by industry stalwarts and distinguished alumni of the list from the past decade.

This year’s list shines a spotlight on under-30 achievers who have distinguished themselves as visionary entrepreneurs or exceptional creative talents. Their significance lies in their ability to perceive the world through a contemporary lens—one that shapes modern realities, societal narratives, and industry truths. Recognizing their contributions is crucial, as they are the torchbearers of the future, leading the industry towards fresh perspectives and groundbreaking achievements.

The IMPACT TOP 30 UNDER 30 jury was chaired by Prasoon Joshi, CEO & CCO, McCann Worldgroup India & Chairman McCann Asia Pacific. The other esteemed members of the jury included Kainaz Karmakar, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India, Nawal Ahuja, Co-founder, exchange4media Group, Azazul Haque, Group Chief Creative Officer, Creativeland Asia, Aditya Kanthy, CEO, Omnicom Advertising Services, Shubhra Saraf Sethi, Head of Entertainment Ad Sales Strategy, JioStar, Aalap Desai, CCO & Co-Founder, tgthr, Subramanyeswar S, Group CEO, MullenLowe Lintas Group & Chief Strategy Officer – APAC, MullenLowe Global, Avinash Pandey, Former CEO, ABP Network, Abhijat Bharadwaj, Chief Creative Officer, Dentsu Creative Isobar, Pallavi Chakravarti, Founder & CCO, Fundamental, Varun Mohan, Head - Growth & Revenue, India & SAARC, MiQ, Atique Kazi, President - Data, Performance and Digital Products, GroupM, Vaishali Verma, CEO, Initiative India, Mukund Olety, Chief Creative Officer, VML, Himanshu Pandey, Co-Founder & COO, Admattic, Shradha Agarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, Grapes.

This year’s list showcases a dynamic mix of professionals from various sectors, including creative, digital, media, influencer marketing, content, and performance marketing agencies, as well as finance, among others. Impressively, some honourees have also made their mark as young entrepreneurs, stepping out on their own to establish businesses that are already making a significant impact in the industry.

Among the 30 winners, there are 16 women and 14 men, selected from around 200 nominations. The scope of work featured this year transcends that of previous years, as it should.

It is safe to say that at IMPACT, we try to oppose Irish writer, George Bernard Shaw’s cynical quote, “youth is wasted on the young.”
