Cheil India transforms into Cheil SWA Group, expands focus on full-funnel marketing services

India – After more than two decades in India, Cheil India has transitioned into the Cheil SWA Group, reflecting a strategic evolution into an end-to-end marketing solutions provider. The transformation includes a new group structure and leadership appointments.

Founded in 2003 as Samsung’s dedicated agency, Cheil has evolved into a full-service marketing group with a broader client portfolio. Its transformation into the Cheil SWA Group follows years of organic growth and strategic acquisitions, positioning it at the intersection of creativity, technology, and business strategy.

The restructured group comprises seven specialised units—Samsung Business, Cheil X, Experience Commerce, CYLNDR, NewRx, Digital Media & Influencer Marketing, and Cheil GDC—each offering expertise across areas such as creative marketing, digital transformation, performance marketing, content production, retail design, influencer engagement, and technology solutions. This integrated model is aimed at addressing the increasingly complex needs of modern businesses.

With this shift, Cheil SWA Group is also positioning itself as a destination for top industry talent. The realignment breaks down silos between marketing disciplines, offering clients a more streamlined and coordinated approach.

Carlos LimSeob Chung, president and CEO of Cheil SWA, will lead the newly restructured Cheil SWA Group. Jitender Dabas, recently appointed CEO of Cheil X, will oversee the group’s agency operations. Meanwhile, Mandeep Sharma steps in as COO of Cheil India, with a mandate to strengthen customer experience and build out CRM capabilities across the marketing value chain.

“Our transformation into the Cheil SWA Group marks a significant milestone in our journey. Each company within our group is driven by a commitment to innovation and excellence, allowing us to offer comprehensive solutions to our clients. We are excited about the future and confident that our expanded capabilities will enable us to achieve even greater success,” Chung explained.

He added, “Today’s marketing landscape demands integrated thinking and specialised execution. Our transformation into Cheil SWA Group is a natural evolution of our capabilities, allowing us to offer clients seamless access to world-class expertise across every touchpoint of the consumer journey.”
