The Mumbai office of Dentsu International was raided by the Income Tax department and the employees were also asked to work from home until further notice.
The raid is allegedly related to one of its clients, a global smartphone brand that the agency closely works with that was under scrutiny of the IT department. It is also said that other clients have started calling the agency's executives. Agency officials are informing their clients that it was “a routine check.”
Just two weeks ago, Dentsu Creative India returned to India from Cannes after winning the ‘Agency of the Year’ title at the Cannes Lions Awards 2022.
In 2020, Dentsu announced it would cut the number of global brands from 160 to six as part of a major transformation of the Tokyo-based group’s international operations. The group has seen a series of senior-level exits in the past year and a half.
