Who WE ARE
[ 15 years in. Still curious]
We’re a tight, focused team that cares about doing good work with good people. The kind of work that feels right when you see it, and even better when it works.
We ask, we listen, we dig a little deeper. That’s usually where the interesting stuff is.
Curious by nature.
We try to be clear before we try to be clever. In thought, in design, in how we work together.
Simple on purpose.
Ideas come first here. Always. An open culture that brings together experience, craft and a shared focus on doing good work that delivers.
Open by design.Testimonials

[ the people who are leading the charge]
Manoj set Rain up to stay independent, curious and a whole lot more fearless.
He started out in India and has spent over two decades working across categories and cultures.
A writer at heart, his passion for advertising is infectious. Thinking, shaping and pushing ideas until they feel right.
Over the years, the work has picked up its share of regional and international recognition. He doesn’t talk about it much.
Outside of work, his curiosity goes everywhere. Music, sport, black holes, archaeology. Nothing is too far out or too small to be interesting.
Malek keeps us tuned in to what’s moving, shifting and shaping culture.
A graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, he brings over two decades of experience working across brands, categories and continents. Being from the region, he adds a layer of understanding that’s both instinctive and considered.
He has a sharp eye for what people care about, especially in the social and digital space.
Outside of work, he’s either behind a drum kit or out on a long ride, chasing the road.
Vinay keeps things moving. Smoothly, steadily and without fuss.
With over two decades in advertising, he has worked across categories that don’t often sit together. Banking, insurance, trading, FMCG, automotive, airlines and more. That range shows in how he handles complexity. Calmly, and with clarity.
Outside of work, he’s usually reading or writing. Somewhere between the two, there’s a future best-selling author in the making.
