Veteran advertising professional Arobinda ‘Arrow’ Sinha Roy passed away on Tuesday, June 11.
Mr Roy has had a long and illustrious career in media, most of which was spent in advertising. After his education at Mumbai’s St Xavier’s College (1961), he worked with Ogilvy and Mather for seven years. He was then with Sista’s Advertising for nine years (1971-80) and was Chairman and Managing Director of Countour Advertising from 1980 to 1996.

For the last few years he has been Governing Board Member of the Vanishing Herds Foundation, a conservation NGO. “My other interest area is wildlife conservation — particularly the Asiatic Lion and the Tiger.
