Additionally, Nitin Sabharwal, former chief business officer - SVG Columbus, has now been elevated to Chief Operating Officer
Deven is a veteran in setting up and operating Internet businesses across emerging markets. He has been instrumental in consolidating and diversifying SVG’s legacy
For the past decade, he has been deeply involved with the efforts to drive digital marketing growth globally through advocacy and innovation. He played a key role in the process of incubating Seventynine (a successful video advertising platform), which merged under SVG Media in 2014.
On his elevation, Deven Dharamdasani said, “Nobody can fill in the void that Anurag has left behind. However, we will put in all our efforts and see to it that Anurag’s vision for SVG Media is met with.”
Adept at developing innovative products for advertisers to solve both digital and offline inefficiencies across industries, Nitin’s forte lies in providing unique solutions to clients.
Ashish Bhasin, CEO, Greater South, Dentsu Aegis Network and Chairman & CEO India said, “Anurag’s passing is a deep and a shocking loss for SVG, for DAN and for the entire Digital fraternity. Deven, Chirag, Ashwani and Nitin are integral to SVG and they understand and resonate with Anurag’s vision for the agency. I wish them all the luck and look forward to SVG’s growth under their vigilant leadership.”
Meanwhile, SVG Media’s Mobile business will continue to function under Chirag Shah, CEO, SVG Mobile.
