3. Experiential + Brand Activation Sub-Contract: WPP network handles large brand activations. TPH can produce immersive event experiences + AR activations + booth design for Bates 141 clients.
4. Travel + Auto Vertical Activation: Cleartrip + Nissan = exactly the kind of premium brands that need immersive-tech for flagship campaigns.
5. Global Network Access — Cross-Pitch (WPP umbrella): Asheesh Malhotra can introduce TPH to WPP global creative network (Ogilvy + VMLY&R + Wunderman + Grey + Hogarth + GroupM). Single pitch → WPP network sub-contract. Strong global network access via WPP umbrella.
| Project | Est. Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BFSI + Standard Chartered (Annual) | ₹0.5-1 Cr/yr | Preferred immersive partner for Standard Chartered + Max Bupa mandates |

Priority rank: #6 of 14 foreign network prospects. 3 PUBLIC emails (bates141.com contact) + 3 PUBLIC senior leaders + Standard Chartered account = good decision-maker access in R8 B2. WPP umbrella sub-contract = highest-leverage angle (single pitch → WPP global network).
Approach: Founder → info@bates141.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED) as first touch, or asheesh.malhotra@bates141.com for direct MD outreach. Karunasagar Srishtibharti (CSO) = strategic strategy champion. Direct phone +91 11 4352 9000 (Delhi) also available.
Warm-intro paths: (a) Via WPP India Group CEO. (b) Via Ogilvy India (WPP sister network in India). (c) Via GroupM India (WPP media network). (d) Via Standard Chartered / Max Bupa / Dish TV India brand teams (Bates 141 anchor clients).
Cold pitch angle (if approved): Pitch TPH as "Bates 141 India's preferred immersive-tech execution partner for BFSI + FMCG + Telecom mandates — anamorphic + AR + projection mapping for Standard Chartered, Max Bupa, Dish TV, Cleartrip". Reference BMW anamorphic + Asian Paints Nilaya Anthology as immersive-tech pedigree. Cross-network value: Single pitch → WPP global network (Ogilvy + VMLY&R + GroupM) sub-contract.
