Research notes

National Ogilvy operation in India (main offices Mumbai and Delhi; former chief creative Piyush Pandey). Kept at country level because neither source names the office; split into ogilvy-mumbai / ogilvy-delhi if offices are verified. The lead that Ogilvy Mumbai made Lifebuoy 'Help a Child Reach 5' is wrong: that was Lowe Lintas (see lowe-lintas-mumbai). Credits fetched 2026-10-22.
