On 2nd August Mr.Pandey celebrated 25 fruitful years at Ogilvy. To salute the God's gift to Indian advertising all the Ogilvites assembled at the atrium of Ogilvy's mumbai office to celebrate and congratulate him. The celebration was short and sweet but what was more memorable was the people across advertising marketing present and past colleagues from the wrote their experiences and memories working with Piyush. This was a fitting gesture to Piyush's great contribution to the organisation and the industry.
While Piyush was very emotional when the scrap book was presented and he became more emotional when the work done by him on various brands were spelled out. The one thing I noticed and observed carefully was when Piyush gave his short speech. I knew Piyush for almost 16 years except for a brief period when I left Ogilvy. In his speech Piyiush gave a simple example ie friends hang on patiently and the results will come. I remember he followed the same illustration while playing cricket for the inter office matches, he used to say partner stay on the wicket runs will come. Piyush followed the same principle very religiously and it has worked wonders for the doyen of Indian advertising
Wish you all the best and more success in the years to come.

I do not know Piyush Pandey personally, and appreciate the convention of felicitations for long service. However, professional achievements should be process driven, and team efforts as well. Individual sparks of brilliance have more place is the fine arts than in sustained business performance. I am sure that Mr. Pandey must have made enormous contributions to how campaigns are developed, executed, and assessed: these would be his main value deliveries to the teams of which he has been part.
