Taproot was founded by Santosh Padhi and Agnello Dias. It was acquired by Dentsu Network in 2012, one of the initial accusations in India. Both co-founders had a lock-in of 5 years and their 100% shares transfer/hand over happened back in 2017.
Talking about his decsion to move on, Padhi said, “The new leadership team at Taproot Dentsu sets the tone for the future of the agency. They are a talented bunch of minds and I am confident they will continue to drive Taproot dentsu’s creative reputation going forward. I was lucky and blessed to have been showered with so much love and respect from the dentsu family over my wonderful 10-year-long journey. I preserve some beautiful memories which will always be close to my heart. My best wishes to the young & dynamic network for their further journey."
