Zahid Khalil Shaikh — Co-Founder
I’m Zahid Shaikh, a Creative Director with over two decades of experience in driving impactful brand communication across platforms. My journey has taken me through some of Asia’s most respected creative agencies including Ogilvy & Mather, JWT, Cheil Worldwide, Equus Red Cell, Star TV, and Salt Brand Solutions—followed by leadership roles at brands like Blinkit (formerly Grofers), Winzo, and Cleartrip. Today, I run my own creative studio, Zash Design, where we partner with purpose-led brands to craft compelling narratives, AI-integrated campaigns, and high-impact visual storytelling. My expertise spans brand building, ad film direction, integrated campaigns, and managing cross-functional creative teams. Whether it’s ATL, digital, print, in-app content, or BTL activations—I bring a holistic, results-driven approach to every project. As I look to scale new creative challenges, I’m open to senior leadership roles—Creative Head or Content Head—where I can lead bold ideas, inspire teams, and shape the next chapter of brand innovation.
