The People Behind India's Most Demanding Events
Inside Benchmark Marcom: who we are, what we believe, and why brands keep coming back.
Founder & Managing Director
Building Benchmark Marcom One Brief at a Time, Since 2007
Prabhash started Benchmark Marcom in 2007 with a small team in Pune. Eighteen years later, that principle has built a company that runs G20 summits, airport inaugurations, dealer conferences, and award nights for some of India's biggest brands, with teams now operating across seven Indian cities, the UAE, and Thailand.
His belief is simple: "Every event is an opportunity to create a lasting connection."
From conceptualisation and planning to production and execution, Prabhash has been a part of creating high-impact events across industries, experiences that connect with audiences, build brands, and create lasting impact.
An engineer by education, Prabhash's journey in the event industry began when he was around 22 years old. While pursuing his studies, he took up a part-time opportunity in events through a friend, and that small step became the foundation of his career. His first project was for ITC, introducing him to the world of brand experiences, activations, and live events.
Starting with activation projects, Prabhash slowly explored different aspects of event management, from engaging audiences to managing teams and bringing large-scale experiences to life. With years of hands-on experience and a passion for creating memorable moments, he has led teams in delivering successful events for diverse brands and audiences.
Under his leadership, Benchmark Marcom has grown its presence across India, Dubai, and Thailand, bringing together creativity, strategy, and seamless execution to transform every brief into an experience that people remember.
The People Who Actually Run Your Event
Most agencies will tell you they have great people. Here's what's different about ours: every team that goes on a brief has a senior person on it from day one, not just at the pitch, not just at the venue, but in every status call in between. After 18 years, that's still the operating rule.
