In addition to his role as branch head for West and South, he will oversee integrated sales for QYOU Media India's verticals (Linear TV, Connected TV (CTV), and gaming) in his regions.
 
The duo will continue to report to Simran Hoon, CEO, QYou Media India and carry on with their previous mandates as well.
