Priority rank: #8 of 14 foreign network prospects. 3 PUBLIC emails (grey.com contact) + 3 PUBLIC senior leaders + Maruti Suzuki account = good decision-maker access in R8 B3. Auto + BFSI + Telecom verticals (Maruti + Tata Steel + Airtel) = strongest entry points.
Approach: Founder → info@grey.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED) as first touch, or arun.das@grey.com for direct MD outreach. Sandeep Bhatia (CCO) = strategic creative champion. Direct phone +91 124 497 3200 (Gurgaon) also available.
Warm-intro paths: (a) Via WPP India Group CEO. (b) Via ET Brand Equity network (Arun Das is Most Influential Agency Leader 2024). (c) Via Goafest / AAAI network. (d) Via Maruti Suzuki / Tata Steel / Airtel brand teams (Grey anchor clients).
Cold pitch angle (if approved): Pitch TPH as "Grey India's preferred immersive-tech execution partner for Auto + BFSI + Telecom mandates — anamorphic + AR + projection mapping for Maruti Suzuki, Tata Steel, Airtel, P&G, Godrej". Reference BMW anamorphic + Asian Paints Nilaya Anthology as immersive-tech pedigree. Cross-network value: Single pitch → WPP global network (Ogilvy + VMLY&R + GroupM + Bates 141) sub-contract.
