“Editor, ideator, teacher, spelling and grammar checker, mentor, guide. A true friend. And so much more. Anant’s integrity, intelligence and empathetic nature will forever guide us,” said Rajesh Kejriwal, founder and CEO, Kyoorius.

Post a two-week-long jury session, nearly 500 entries were shortlisted as winners of a Baby Elephant (In-Book winners). Out of these 500 Baby Elephant winners, only 142 entries were awarded Blue Elephants across the Advertising, Media and Digital disciplines and 1 entry was awarded a Brass Elephant for the Creativity For Good category.

Only one entry made it to the super-exclusive, highly-coveted Black Elephant. Black Elephants are reserved for work that represents the best of the best, work that cuts across categories, work that takes risks, creates a new conversation with the audience and has a lasting impact on the industry.

Seven entries were also awarded Purple Elephants for the ZEE Equality Award presented by Indian Creative Women.

Purple Elephants, or the ZEE Equality Award presented by Indian Creative Women, recognise and reward work that has addressed and impacted gender inequality in India through innovative thinking. The colour ‘purple’ signifies justice, and dignity and has been historically associated with efforts to achieve gender equality.

Blue Elephants recognise work that sets new benchmarks for the industry, and is truly outstanding, while Baby Elephants recognise disruptive showcase worthy work.
