These chapters are headed by CEOs of advertising agencies who have several decades of experience in providing brand building and related advertising services to the government, financial institutions, NGOs and advertisers across different fields. 

Each chapter will run workshops, fireside chats, and peer-learning forums tailored to regional market dynamics. Chapter leadership: North: Chairperson: Kunal Lalani, Crayons Advertising Ltd; Co-chair: Santosh Kumar, Innocean Worldwide Communication Pvt Ltd & Sunil Chhabra, Pamm Advertising & Marketing South: Chairperson: K.

These chapters will operate under AAAI’s national framework but with autonomy to address region-specific priorities.
