Mumbai: In 2023, Human, co-founded by Chirag Raheja and Imran Khan, has named Umesh Mandve as the new Business Head.
Umesh, with 10+ years in advertising and marketing at Lawrence & Mayo, Infectious, and Pacific Group, now aims to contribute significantly to Human’s growth journey.
Speaking on his appointment, Umesh commented “I am thrilled to step into the role of Business Head at Human. While delivering top-notch work is vital, working with good people holds even greater value. Having collaborated with Chirag and Imran for many years and knowing them since 2018, I’ve witnessed their passion and creativity firsthand. Together, we are a team committed not just to delivering outstanding results, but also to forging strong, meaningful relationships with our clients and partners. I look forward to contributing to our growth and success. It truly feels good to be ‘human’.”
Human Co-founders and Directors Chirag Raheja and Imran Khan say “We are very careful about the people we work with. Our first and foremost criteria is that they should be good people. Umesh fits the bill perfectly, now, and in the long run. While his business acumen and stellar track record in delighting clients are the tangible reasons for having him, his discipline and ethics are the softer, bigger reasons. His values resonate deeply with the culture we’re trying to create within the company – both, in India, and abroad.”
Umesh has an MBA in marketing, giving him insights into consumer behavior and strategic business management. Beyond work, he enjoys farming, poetry, and performing arts, fostering creativity for a well-rounded personality, enhancing his innovative professional approach.
