The Pitch CMO Summit 2026, co-presented by Snapchat and Samsung Ads, was held on March 12 in Mumbai. The summit, themed 'The Human Advantage: Marketing in an AI-Native Era', recognised and celebrated some of the most impactful marketing professionals in India for their creative and strategic contributions over the past year. Among the honourees was Rajeeb Dash, Head of Department – Sales & Marketing at Adani Realty, who was presented with 'The CMO Experiential & Immersive Marketing Award'.

This award is conferred upon a marketing leader who has demonstrated an outstanding ability to create compelling, immersive brand experiences that go beyond conventional advertising, forging deeper and more lasting connections between the brand and its consumers.

Accepting the award, Dash expressed thanks to the exchange4media platform and its role in fostering knowledge exchange within the marketing fraternity. "I think this is a platform to share knowledge and we gain knowledge," he said, specifically commending Dr Annurag Batra for what Dash called "inside generation and inside exchange programmes" — a description of the interactive formats the platform facilitates for marketers.

He also used the occasion to acknowledge the indispensable role of agency partners. "The idea can begin anywhere, but it gets delivered through agency partners," he said, adding that he was proud of the ecosystem of agencies that work alongside his team. He concluded by dedicating the award to his team and all their agency collaborators.

Dash is a seasoned marketing and sales professional with a career that spans some of India's most prominent real estate and corporate brands. Prior to Adani Realty, he held leadership roles at Tata Housing Development as Regional Head of Marketing, and earlier at Tata Chemicals as Brand Manager. He began his career at Nielsen as a Project Manager.
