Ishan Lakhina, Founder at Quack Quack Communications

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?

Ishan Lakhina: I always wanted to create stories and was fascinated by the whole process of filming and editing. So, I started back in 2007 while doing my graduation and started making docu-dramas on social causes. Those were early days that gave fuel to my mind and passion to my soul to pursue a career in Advertising. I developed content + Digital strategies for clients like Maldives Tourism, Grand Hyatt Kochi, Rio Fusion Drink, Lapp India, Gera Developers, Sony TV, Bonobology, Axis Bank etc.. and worked as a consultant in Digital Advertising for brands and agencies based out of Mumbai, Pune, Kochi and Gurgaon. After spending over 8 years of an admirable chapter of my career I started Quack Quack Communications in 2018.

Ishan Lakhina: There is either Yes or No to do anything. If it's a yes, you are about to enter an industry 'Media and Communication' you should be highly passionate about it. With passion comes creativity and endless innovations. Like every idea is obvious but how to make it great is something that comes with years of experience and learning. So whatever it may be writing, designing or crafting should be everlasting that the world can look up to.
