Mumbai, 4 November 2025: Behavioural strategy consultancy WolfzHowl has announced the onboarding of Eswara VAN Sharma as Consulting Director – #StraTech & Brand Orchestration (India & ASEAN). As WolfzHowl shifts gears from strategy to #StraTech, VAN will be key in leading brand relationships, driving client success, and championing WolfzHowl’s approach. #StraTech is the symbiosis of rich cultural and behavioural insights with the precision and scale of technology to impact the entire funnel and beyond, with AI as a key aide to help brands grow.
VAN brings 31 years of business leadership, marketing, innovation, strategy, and creative experience across India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, growing local, regional, and global brands through a combination of creativity and technology. Over the years, he has held key leadership roles at organisations, including Leo Burnett Malaysia, Digital Nasional Berhad, DDB Group Singapore, and NVIDIA India, where he was the Head of Marketing. He has driven impactful work for global brands such as Mondelez, Emirates, Samsung, and ExxonMobil.
Kalyan Ram Challapalli, Founder, WolfzHowl India & Partner and Head of Strategy – WolfzHowl Global, sharing his enthusiasm, said, “Over the past 13 years, we have built deep expertise and delivered strategic growth across 30+ categories. We have also seen tremendous business growth in the last two years. As we embrace the next chapter, WolfzHowl needs experienced leaders now to grow and consolidate our evolution via #StraTech. VAN’s experience, integrity and affable leadership make him the perfect catalyst for this phase of growth – both in India and globally.”
Eswara VAN Sharma added, “It’s rare to find an opportunity that brings together the sum of one’s experiences – in behavioural science, technology, and brand building – while still offering room for growth and exploration. I’m excited to orchestrate strategy and technology with WolfzHowl, and help shape the movement we call #StraTech.”
VAN will be based out of Bengaluru and is set to leverage his experience and business relationships to drive growth in Australia and Southeast Asia alongside Waheed Bidiwale and Jean Paul.
