Almas Khan takes charge of Dun & Bradstreet India’s marketing revival

MUMBAI: Dun & Bradstreet India has recruited Almas Khan as head of marketing and CSR, tasking her with turbocharging the company’s brand presence and sharpening its competitive edge in a market hungry for data-driven insights.

Khan arrives from CRIF, where she oversaw marketing across the company’s Indian operations and led regional initiatives across the Middle East. Her two-decade track record spans digital transformation at ICICI Bank, where she revolutionised the lender’s digital channels and customer experience, plus stints at Western Union and Reliance Life.

The appointment signals Dun & Bradstreet’s ambitions to deepen relationships with clients and fortify its position as India’s go-to provider of business decisioning data and analytics. Khan will shepherd the company’s corporate social responsibility agenda whilst crafting marketing strategies to amplify the firm’s footprint across the subcontinent.

Managing director and chief executive of Dun & Bradstreet India, Avinash Gupta, said the hire would inject fresh dynamism into a rapidly evolving market. “Her innovative approach to marketing will strengthen our brand and deepen client engagement,” he noted.

Khan herself sounded bullish on the opportunity. “I’m inspired to join D&B’s legacy of trust and innovation,” she said. “As we harness AI and data-driven insights, I’m keen to collaborate on making D&B a true partner in powering India’s economic momentum at this defining moment of growth”.

The move underscores Dun & Bradstreet’s determination to punch harder in an increasingly competitive landscape where data, more than ever, means opportunity.
