Bangalore: Ad Club Bangalore has announced the second edition of its Founder Circle, a closed-door session centered on how artificial intelligence is transforming marketing operations, creative workflows, and business models. This event will take place on December 18, from 5 pm to 7 pm at La Gioia, Indiranagar. The December session will feature Venugopal Ganganna, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of LS Digital Group, who will present practical frameworks for integrating AI into marketing functions. The discussion targets a crucial challenge for agency founders, startup leaders, and brand custodians: progressing from AI experimentation to full operational implementation. Venugopal Ganganna brings over 30 years of experience in developing technology-driven marketing solutions. As Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at LS Digital Group, he leads a team of more than 1, 200 digital specialists across strategy, creative, media, data, and technology, assisting brands in scaling through AI-powered intelligence combined with human insight. Under his guidance, LS Digital has grown from an independent Indian marketing network into a strong competitor to global holding groups, partnering with over 100 international brands across B2B enterprises, automotive, finance, consumer tech, luxury, and wellness sectors.

Ganganna holds an engineering degree and advanced management training from Stanford, is an active member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), and works closely with CMOs to reinvent decision-making, creativity, and media effectiveness using AI-driven strategies. At Langoor, an LS Digital company, he currently leads the shift toward “agentic AI, ” where AI agents act as strategic partners within marketing workflows. The Founder Circle will explore how AI is reshaping marketing and creative operations, the rise of new service lines and revenue models, the integration of AI into daily business activities, and what it means to be an AI-native organization in practice. The session will also highlight how teams adopting these changes are building systems and securing new business. Created as an open and implementation-oriented forum, the Founder Circle brings together agency founders, startup leaders, brand custodians, and business heads seeking practical, experience-based insights over theoretical models. Ad Club Bangalore is one of India’s most vibrant industry platforms for advertising, marketing, media, technology, and creative professionals.
