Mumbai Agency Networking Visit

Feb 19–20, 2026

Hello!

Hi, I'm Roman Pivovarov, cofounder of ADCONSULT, a consulting and networking project for advertising and media agencies.

A few times a year I travel with small groups of agency founders and senior leaders to meet peers in other markets to compare notes, build connections, and understand how the industry works on the ground.

ADCONSULT networking trips 2012—2026

Since 2012, we’ve organized 49 networking journeys across 25+ markets.

Over the years, we’ve visited 600+ agencies and brought together 500+ agency leaders across creative, media, digital, strategy, production, and adtech.

About This Visit

This February we’ll be in Mumbai for two days of agency visits.

Mumbai: Feb 19–20, 2026

If you’re open to it, we’d love to stop by for a short networking meeting with your team.

Typical meeting time is 40-60 minutes.

What To Expect

No delegation, no “official agenda”, no sales pitch.

Just a small group of colleagues meeting peers to exchange context and perspectives.

Think of us as an informal club of agency owners.

If it’s useful, we can also briefly compare how cross-border cooperation between agencies usually works in practice — referrals, joint pitches, delivery support, or local production — without turning the meeting into a business negotiation.

Ground Rules

We treat these meetings as off-the-record by default (no recording, no quoting without your permission).

No client briefs and no immediate business requests — we’re here to build context and relationships first.

And there are no costs involved for hosts — no payment requested or offered.

Who Is Coming

We come from different markets and agency backgrounds: creative, digital, media, strategy, production, adtech.

Participants are founders, partners, or senior leadership.

Our goal is simple: understand how the local market is structured, what’s changing, and where collaboration between agencies and their clients realistically happens (and where it doesn’t).

Value For Hosts

Hosts usually get three practical things:
— a candid peer-to-peer exchange (no “stage mode”);
— context about other markets and how agency models evolve under different conditions;
— new relationships that sometimes turn into referrals, partnerships, or hires later.

Sometimes these conversations stay as useful contacts — and sometimes they turn into practical collaboration later.

Many agencies in our groups have clients who are curious about India, so we’re also trying to understand which local partners are a good fit when a real case appears.
