Havas Chairman and CEO Yannick Bolloré was in India for a strategic visit. For a design agency within the Havas network, the visit reinforced our long-held conviction – that India isn’t just another market, it’s a strategic powerhouse.
Yannick doesn’t view the market merely as another revenue opportunity but as a foundational cornerstone for global operations. “India is the future,” he stated during his recent visit, recognizing the country’s “abundance of talent” not just in technology but across creative and strategic disciplines.

His plan to position India as a hub serving global clients represents a shift in service delivery models – to a more distributed, culturally intelligent approach.
Yannick highlighted the resilience, optimism, and patience that characterize how our teams approach client partnerships. These aren’t just cultural traits – they’re business advantages that enable the long-term relationships essential to Havas’ global success.
For agencies within the Havas network in India, this represents a fundamental elevation – from executing international strategies to creating them. This vision transforms regional excellence into global opportunities.
