Oindrila Roy has stepped down as the Managing Director of Publicis Worldwide. Roy made the announcement in a LinekdIn post. She has announced her own venture, Opinion Incubator.

In the post announcing her decision to move on, Roy wrote, “Gratitude. Growth. Goodbye.
Exactly three years ago, I walked into Publicis India with a clear purpose to build, to lead, and to nurture. What I didn't know then was how deeply it would shape me in return. Publicis India, lovingly called PI, wasn't just a role. It was a chapter. A demanding, transformative, fiercely rewarding chapter. One that stretched me in ways only leadership can. Pushing past comfort, holding vision through chaos, and learning to trust both instinct and team.”

Hinting at her next move, Roy wrote, “What I carry with me is not just a title or a track record, but the people, the lesson, the love. It's time now to step into a new chapter, one where I take everything I have learnt and pour it into building something of my own. A venture we call Opinion Incubator. I shall get to that one later. But before I do, I just want to say a big thank you to Publicis. For the stage, the storm and the stories. I leave with my heart full of memories, momentum and meaningful change.”

Roy joined Publicis Worldwide in August 2022.

Roy has held senior positions across organizations including JWT, Leo Burnett, Edelweiss, and Essence (Group M) where she worked across multiple industries such as BFSI, FMCG, Beauty, E-commerce, Ed-tech and a whole host of Direct-to-Consumer brands.
