Shouvik Roy of Media.Monks India stated, "New-age brands are more ready to experiment but are also in a bigger hurry. Established brands are also experimenting much more now and are very willing adopters of the new—however, this is done in a planned way throughout the year. They believe in measurability, and the metrics of success and failure are better defined." (From left to right: Shouvik Roy and Robert Godinho)

Along with Robert Godinho, managing director, Media.Monks India, Shouvik Roy, head – business transformation, in an exclusive interaction with Storyboard18 said, “Performance gaps have always been the main stimulus for business transformation. The speed and turbulence caused by the constant changes around us are forcing most scaled, global organisations to regroup. Agencies are best equipped to offer an objective outside-in perspective to partner businesses.”
