Markathon 2026 · The panel

Who is evaluating your work.

The judging panel comprises senior performance-marketing leaders from established Indian agencies, together with aFactor faculty. They review submissions across all rounds and sit on the live pitches, discovery calls, and final defences.

Agency-partner judges maintain independent hiring interest in candidates who demonstrate strong capability. This is disclosed openly — it is part of why Markathon is worth your time, and it is never framed as a guarantee.

Conflict of interest

Recusal is managed, not assumed.

Judges recuse themselves from evaluating candidates with whom they have a prior professional relationship. Assignment and recusal are managed so that no candidate is scored by someone with a standing connection to them.

How the panel is chosen

Practitioners, on the record.

  • Senior practitioners over media personalities.
  • Active agency leadership over independent consultants.
  • Participation on the record.

Evaluated by people who can act on what they see.
