I welcome her warmly on board at this inflection point in our journey,” said Sumanto Chattopadhyay.

Co-chairman and CEO, 82.5 Communications, Kapil Arora said, “ Sangeetha is the latest in the set of ‘believers’ that Sumo and I have brought on board over the last year, to form the core of the 82.5 leadership offering - someone who believes creativity is the unfair advantage we get to deploy to further our clients’ businesses. I am delighted to have her join the family and am sure that in her partnership with Ravi, we will see the work for our 82.5 Bangalore clients shine brighter.”

Expressing his happiness to have Sangeetha on board, Senior Vice President and Branch Head-South, 82.5 Communications, Naveen Raman said, “We are really happy to have Sangeetha on board at this stage of our journey.
