Lakshya Media's Yuvrraj Agarwal: 'Presence is the new performance' as OOH bucks traditional media decline

At ET Brand World Summit 2026, Agarwal argued marketing faces a 'remembering crisis,' urging brands to prioritise distinction over reach. He flagged OOH as the only growing traditional medium (~13%) and estimated India's market at INR 7,000-8,500 crore, well above reported figures of INR 4,700-4,800 crore, with potential to hit INR 10,000 crore by 2030.
