The upcoming edition of the Pitch CMO Summit 2026 will be held on March 12 in Mumbai, bringing together industry experts and leaders from the advertising and marketing industry. At the Pitch CMO Summit 2026, Ashwin Moorthy, Global Head of Categories and Head of Marketing - India, Godrej Consumer Products, will share key insights on the topic ‘Marketing Beyond the Spotlight: What Truly Drives Brand Growth Under Performance Pressure’.

At a time when performance pressure is higher than ever, Ashwin Moorthy will underline why marketers must constantly wear ‘bi-focal lenses’ while building brands, as on one side is the urgency of quarterly targets, while on the other is the long-term task of compounding brand equity. He will discuss how sustainable growth comes from balancing immediate gains with enduring brand building.

Moorthy will also emphasise the importance of structured marketing models that scale with capital and then leverage that scale efficiently. He will highlight how short-term actions should act as deposits into the brand’s long-term equity bank rather than withdrawals that chase quick wins at the cost of future value among other key topics.

The Pitch CMO Summit will feature a power-packed agenda that includes keynote sessions, panel discussions and engaging fireside chats. The upcoming edition of the summit will drive the theme ‘The Human Advantage: Marketing in an AI-Native Era’, focusing on how brands can balance technology with creativity and human insight in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
