Gowthaman Ragothaman aka G-Man

The name’s Gowthaman Ragothaman. Better known to the world as G-Man. With or without the hyphenation. The GroupM veteran is said to be moving on, with a blockchain start-up.

For over two decades, Ragothaman has been crunching numbers – at HTA, Mindshare, Fulcrum and then the entire agency which he led for some years until he moved to Singapore for a role specially created for him – Chief Client Officer. A few elevations later, he was tasked with leading the global mandate for FAST, converging deliveries for client performance. He was also Global Client Lead of Team PepsiCo before taking on the additional charge of Global Blockchain Solutions Lead at GroupM.

A message to G-Man got us no reply, but he has messaged a few friends in the business informing them of his decision. At 50, he clearly believes the time is right to do something of his and blockchain clearly excites him.

Yehi hai right choice, we would say, recalling the popular adline of yore of Pepsi in India, a client he served for eons.
