I have known Girish since 2010, when we were both engineers trying to find our footing in advertising. What started as a shared career pivot turned into a long professional partnership and one of my closest friendships.Girish is one of the rare creatives who begins every brief not with ego, but with logic, human behaviour, and emotion. He has an uncanny ability to strip a problem down to its core, understand what truly needs solving, and then build ideas that feel both intelligent and deeply human. His work never feels forced. It feels inevitable.He is also among the most down-to-earth and genuinely funny people I know, with a quirky sense of humour that translates beautifully into fresh, memorable work for brands. What sets Girish apart is his love for the craft of writing itself. Long copy, short copy, headlines, product stickers, pamphlets, booklets, or a full TVC script. I have seen him put the same thought, care, and joy into every single word, regardless of the scale. He never complained. He simply loved making words dance to his tunes.That same integrity and ethic now define Bare Bones Collective. The agency’s work reflects Girish’s belief in strong fundamentals, sharp thinking, and storytelling rooted in human truth, while still being fun, memorable, and unmistakably original. It is this approach that has allowed Bare Bones to grow into an award-winning agency without ever compromising on craft or values.
