M&C Saatchi Performance elevates Nachiket Desai to Country Director Indonesia

M&C Saatchi Performance, global performance marketing agency, has promoted Nachiket Desai to the position of Country Director Indonesia. Desai has been with the agency for over 6 years. He first started in Mumbai and then moved to Indonesia where he has to be recognized for kick-starting the Jakarta office in 2019.

Under Desai’s guidance, M&C Saatchi Performance’s Indonesia team has flourished, growing to include over 70 talented marketers and making significant contributions to the agency’s overall success. His strategic vision and pursuit of excellence have not only increased revenue but also diversified our client portfolio, solidifying our presence in the Indonesian market.

In his new role as Country Director Indonesia, Desai will focus on furthering business growth and profitability. He will be tasked with establishing innovative services tailored to the Indonesian market, with a specific emphasis on retail commerce, digital transformations, and D2C businesses. Desai will be responsible for transforming the agency’s Jakarta office into a center of excellence for the entire APAC region.

Desai said: “I’ve witnessed in first-person the huge growth that our business has experienced in Indonesia since we first launched. When we opened in 2019, there was only a few of us and today we’re over 70 in the team. The country’s growing economy and fast talent development in the digital industry present us with a dynamic landscape to make a meaningful impact for brands investing in digital media. Stepping into this role, I’m enthusiastic about the opportunities that lie ahead. Driving our clients’ growth will remain our priority while we leverage the latest performance marketing technologies to innovate. In the long-term, we hope to make our business in Jakarta a centre of excellence for the whole APAC region.”

Roshat Adnani, Managing Partner APAC at M&C Saatchi Performance, expressed his delight at Nachiket’s promotion, saying, “I am delighted to announce Nachiket’s promotion to Country Director Indonesia, a journey that began when he joined as our first hire in 2019 for the Jakarta office. From Sr. Account Manager to a key leader in our 70+ member team, Nachiket has played a pivotal role in not only growing our business but has also been instrumental in shaping a collaborative and innovative work culture. As we expand in the market, we trust Nachiket to take our business to newer heights while making Jakarta a center of excellence in the region.”
