Kurien Mathews, Chairman and Managing Director at Metal Communications, is no more.

He succumbed to a cardiac arrest on October 4, 2023, according to sources.

Mathews had Co-founded and run Anthem, which merged with Radeus (1994) and subsequently got acquired by Omnicom Group (1998), to form TBWA\India.

Mathews spent over 20 years co-building Anthem and TBWA\Anthem in India. He was also a Director at Rage Communications (now adk Rage).

Mathews pursued interests beyond advertising later in the latter part of his career — he was a Director at Conscious Foods, and at Master Shipyard, since 2008 when he exited TBWA.

He launched Metal Communications in 2008 after exiting TBWA, with partner and Co-founder Narayan Kumar.

He was one of the driving forces behind the Subhas Ghoshal Foundation’s initiatives like ‘Brands Under Fire’ (with Ivan Arthur).
