Piyush Pandey will be remembered as the creative force who gave Indian advertising its authentic voice. His legacy lies not just in the ads he created, but in the values he infused into the industry. The passing of Pandey on October 23, 2025, marks the end of an era in Indian advertising.
Colleagues and admirers remember him as a creative genius, mentor, and friend whose ideas shaped generations of marketers. Lakshmi Narayanan B, Chief Marketing Officer at CEAT Limited, joined the advertising fraternity in remembering the late Piyush Pandey, calling him “a true legend.”
He reflected on Pandey’s ability to see brands not just as products or campaigns, but as living expressions of emotion.
A true legend.
In his own words, “There are so many things around us that we don’t consider as brands.”

He built the brand of emotion — and made it timeless.
