What began as one man’s frustration with uninspired radio ads became a creative powerhouse that has moved with every medium for over four decades.

Thilakan as the family karanavar · Manorama Calendar, 1993
In 1980, advertising in Kerala was still in its infancy: simplistic, predictable, and often uninspired. That’s when J.B. Mohan, a young researcher at the University of Kerala and a radio drama scriptwriter at All India Radio, recognised the untapped potential of storytelling in advertising.
Frustrated by the lack of creativity in radio ads, he set out to do better. That vision gave birth to SRAVIA. What began as a radio-first agency soon turned into a creative powerhouse.
SRAVIA’s early campaigns for Malayala Manorama and the Kerala State Electricity Board weren’t just ads. They became cultural touchpoints, hummed across households. From homegrown brands to global players, we continue to craft campaigns that don’t just sell, but stay.
As media evolved, so did we.
