Atul Hegde's passing is a significant loss for India's marketing and communications industry. He was among the early entrepreneurs who recognised the potential of digital and played an important role in shaping the industry's evolution. Through YAAP, he built an organisation that reflected his vision, entrepreneurial spirit, and belief in innovation.

On behalf of everyone at Tribes, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and the entire YAAP team. May they find strength during this difficult time, and may his soul rest in peace."
