The passing of Dr. Bhaskar Das, affectionately known as BD, marks the end of an era for all who had the privilege of knowing him. Renowned for his boundless energy, cheerful demeanor, and vibrant personality, Das was a true force of nature. His distinct style, both in attire and in his approach to life, made him stand out in every room he entered.
Bhaskar Das was more than just a name in the media and advertising industry—he was a mentor, a leader, and a constant presence in the lives of those who worked alongside him. His legacy is most strongly tied to Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd. (The Times of India), where he played a pivotal role in shaping and leading the “Response” revenue team. Under his leadership, BD helped drive and redefine the way the organization approached client relationships, marketing, and business growth.
One of the qualities that made him exceptional was his genuine ability to stay connected with people. Whether it was a colleague or a client, Bhaskar made it a point to nurture relationships, fostering a sense of camaraderie and loyalty that few could replicate.
Known for his garrulous nature and his infectious laughter, BD was always full of life, bringing energy and enthusiasm to every conversation. His impact was not just professional but personal—he made an impression on everyone he met, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and leadership.
As we bid farewell to Sir Dr. Bhaskar Das, we not only mourn the loss of a remarkable individual but also celebrate the profound mark he left on the industry and the lives of those fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of excellence, connection, and vibrancy will live on.
