Danka · डंका · is the war drum beaten so the whole town hears. It's also what happens when someone from the seller's side of India's biggest media houses switches sides.
Danka is led by Mayank Joshi: an engineer by degree, a seller by trade, and for seven-plus years the person on the other side of the table when brands bought media.
At The Times of India, that meant enterprise campaigns across TOI, The Economic Times and sector supplements. At ET Edge, it meant twenty-plus CXO-level summits and sponsorship deals with the likes of Salesforce, Oracle and Microsoft. At Pepper Content, it meant sitting with CMOs and being answerable for whether content actually returned money.
Across that run: ₹25Cr+ in revenue delivered, ₹6Cr+ in sponsorships structured, and a 25% lead-generation ROI lift on integrated campaigns. And one repeated observation: great businesses lose to louder ones every single day, partly because nobody in the room is negotiating for them.
Danka is that person in the room. The service list is the one every agency has. The difference is the seat we used to sit in, and ideas that are thoda hatke.
So you don't have to wonder, and so we can't quietly drift.
No bloated retainers, no padded packages, no twelve-month lock-ins. Take exactly what your business needs: a name, a website, a campaign, or the whole journey from unnamed to selling.
We don't take a percentage of your media spend. An agency paid out of your budget has a reason to recommend a bigger budget; we'd rather be paid for judgement.
Name, logo, website, campaign, all from the same brains start to finish. You brief once, everything matches, and nothing gets lost between your branding vendor and your media vendor.
If an idea won't move your business, you hear it from us first. Losing a line item costs us less than losing your trust.
Domains, hosting and social handles in your name from day one. Source files yours on final payment. Leaving should be easy; we'd rather you stayed because the work is good.
Every agency has the same list. What you actually hire is the thinking on top of it: the idea your customers talk about, share and remember. Never gimmicky, never forgettable.
An agency that claims to do everything either subcontracts silently or does most of it badly.
When something falls outside that list, we'll say so and help you brief the right person. The nine questions we think you should ask any agency, including us →
Based in Mumbai. In person when it matters, on a call when it doesn't. Work runs across Mumbai, Thane and Palghar, and anywhere the brief is interesting enough.
One campaign, two weeks, one flat fee. The cheapest way to know if we're your people.
