Mumbai: In a major development, the original founders of Goosebumps Brand Solutions Private Ltd., Dhananjay Sharma and Ratan Kumar have taken back charge of the agency. The reunion of the original founders is expected to inject renewed vigour into the agency's operations.

Goosebumps Brand Solutions was founded in 2011 by the duo as a boutique creative agency. A few years later, Ratan also set up Thinking Folks - a digital-first agency.

The strategic coming together of the founders and the agencies was necessitated to enable clients to get a one-stop solution for all their tech, digital and creative needs.

Thinking Folks CEO, founder & Goosebumps co-founder Kumar who would be heading both agencies said, “With both the teams now sitting out of the same office and working closely, we would be able to provide clients better strategic inputs and faster TAT. Both setups will benefit immensely from each other's strengths. And of course, it will make the lives of our clients easier as they would now find all solutions in one place – be it tech, e-commerce, digital, performance, social or mainline creative.”

“With this coming together, we are now a 40-member team with offices in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Dubai. And with many new young talents on board in tech, digital and creative, we believe we will be able to create a great body of work for our clients and ourselves,” added Sharma.

It is learnt that the duo is planning to start operations in more cities outside India.

Thinking Folks also forged a tie-up with Bengaluru-based consulting firm LeapX.
