THE Minds BEHIND THE Meaning

A team of thinkers, makers, and strategists shaping ideas into meaningful brand experiences.

Preeti Vyas, Founder and Chairwoman of VGC

Preeti Vyas

FOUNDER & CHAIRWOMAN

Preeti has spent three decades figuring out why creativity belongs at the centre of business, not at the edges of it. Her path has moved through founding VGC in 1997, building some of India’s most recognised brands, and sitting on boards where she keeps making the same argument: design is not decoration, it is strategy made visible. Today, she splits her time between boardrooms, brand strategy, and mentoring the next generation of designers, still looking for the pattern, the possibility, and the truth underneath every problem.

Radhika Butala, DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY &,BUSINESS HEAD

Radhika Butala

DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY &BUSINESS HEAD

Radhika has spent twenty years helping brands figure out who they are, why people should care, and how to show up with more nerve in the real world.

Her path has moved through busy newsrooms in Mumbai, global agencies in New York, brand leadership at Indian consumer companies, and her own strategy consultancy for founders and startups.

That mix has trained her to see brands from every angle: the story, the business, the consumer, the culture around them, and the design choices that make people feel something before they have even read a word.

She is at her best when a brand needs clearer direction, sharper conviction, and a way to bring people with it.

She helps find the spine, the story, and the momentum to move the work forward.

With over fifteen years in branding and communication, Sneha has helped shape identities, campaigns and brand experiences across diverse sectors, creating work that is as effective as it is memorable.

Over the years, she has led teams, shaped brand transformations and translated ideas into experiences that resonate across audiences and touchpoints.

Inspired by art, culture, travel and everyday observations, Sneha brings together strategic thinking and creative intuition to build brands that are not only seen but remembered and felt. For her, the best creative work doesn't demand attention; it earns it.

Nidhi Joshi, DESIGN DIRECTOR

Nidhi Joshi

DESIGN DIRECTOR

Nidhi is a designer led by intuition as much as intention. She has worked with brands across industries, creating visual identities, campaigns and brand experiences that are more than just compelling - they express purpose, build connection and leave a lasting impression.

For her, inspiration comes from gallery walls as much as it does from cinema screens, the cut of a well-tailored jacket or the colour palette of an old photograph.

She enjoys uncovering the idea beneath the brief - the one that gives the work clarity, character and purpose. She believes the strongest design doesn't shout for attention; it earns it through thoughtfulness, restraint and an understanding of people.

At heart, she's someone who loves creating - identities that feel timeless, campaigns that connect and visual systems that make brands memorable. Every brief is another chance to learn, experiment and create work that feels as meaningful as it is beautiful.
