JAKARTA, May 22, 2025 – Companies operating in Indonesia and India can now rely on two separate public relations agencies, both with the Maverick name, to provide them with advice and strategies for their communication needs.
This follows the entry of The Mavericks, a leading Indian reputation and communications consultancy into One Asia Communications (OAC), the premier public relations and marketing alliance of Asia-based owner-operated agencies, of which Maverick Indonesia is a founding member.
The OAC is now present in 12 countries in Asia, namely Cambodia, China/Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. This comprehensive coverage enables brands and corporations operating in or entering Asian markets to benefit from OAC's unparalleled regional reach combined with the deep local expertise and networks of its owner-operator members.
“We are seeing Indian companies showing greater interest to expand their presence in Indonesia and other parts of Asia,” said Maverick Indonesia Founder Ong Hock Chuan. “This is especially so since we’ve already had a close professional relationship with each other.”
Though different companies with no cross-holdings, the founders of Maverick Indonesia and The Mavericks have been old friends and have mutually inspired each other over the years.
Chetan Mahajan, CEO of The Mavericks said, "We are delighted to join OAC, especially since our ‘namesake’ whose operations we admire, are in the network. I am sure that we can bring greater value to Indian clients expanding to Indonesia and vice versa.”
"With The Mavericks joining our alliance under the leadership of CEO Chetan Mahajan, OAC now has presence in all major countries across Asia," said Chair of OAC Siwon Hahm. "This expansion represents a pivotal milestone in our mission to provide seamless, high-quality communications services throughout the region."
