The Qode, a Dubai-headquartered communications agency specialising in luxury fashion, watches & jewellery, beauty, hospitality, automotive, and lifestyle, has announced its entry into India. This move was built on a long-standing, organic relationship with the market, having led strategic campaigns for international brands in India and supported the expansion of Indian brands into the Middle East.
With a dedicated team based in Mumbai, the team offers an integrated approach to communications, partnerships, events, and talent-led brand building – both within the market and across its global network.
Dipesh Depala, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of The Qode, said, “India represents one of the most compelling markets globally today. Our relationship with the market has developed organically over time - supporting international brands entering India, while also working closely with Indian brands as they expand into the Middle East. This next chapter allows us to build on that foundation with greater proximity, nuance, and intent.”
Ayman Fakoussa, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of The Qode, added “Our strength lies in connecting markets through culture-led storytelling, strategic partnerships, and talent. India is a natural extension of that vision. With a dedicated team on the ground, we are able to bring our full capabilities closer to the market, while continuing to leverage the scale and perspective of our regional and international network.”
