Speaking about the scholarship, Prabhakar Mundkur, Advisory Director, Miami Ad School, said: “Anant Rangaswami, veteran journalist and darling of the advertising industry has left an indelible mark on all of us. His career was a blazing trail of meeting all the advertising giants. He could place a call as easily to Sir Martin Sorrell as he could to Piyush Pandey and he was equally comfortable with both of them. In his memory, The Miami Ad School is offering a INR 50 lakh scholarship for their next portfolio course in copywriting and art direction starting October 15, 2024. Only incidentally Anant was also on the Advisory Board of Miami Ad School and therefore it is appropriate that the school acknowledges his contribution.
