MUMBAI: Every great story needs a strong narrator and for Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI), that voice has been Humsa Dhir for the last 10 years. Now, after an extraordinary decade as Senior vice president and head of corporate communications, she is bidding farewell to the network she helped define.
Joining SPNI in 2015, Dhir steered the company’s reputation through broadcast, digital, and sports ventures, shaping how the brand was seen and understood. From deft crisis management to bold corporate storytelling, her tenure became the playbook for communications done with both strategy and sensitivity.
Her influence stretched far beyond press releases. She chaired the organisation’s Anti-Sexual Harassment Committee for two terms, established social media governance frameworks, and championed initiatives such as the award-winning Go-Beyond Podcast, which won praise for reinventing corporate storytelling.
Across media, energy, manufacturing, and automotive sectors, Dhir’s broader career has seen her advise CXOs and boards across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East on trust, change, and long-term value creation. At Sony, those skills translated into campaigns that resonated, and a reputation that endured.
“Humsa has been an exceptional custodian of SPNI’s reputation and values,” said SPNI CHRO Manu Wadhwa hailing her ability to craft compelling narratives while building trust with stakeholders. “We will truly miss her insight, her partnership, and the calm confidence she always brought to the table.”
Reflecting on her own journey, Dhir called the role “a privilege” and “a decade of growth,” noting that it gave her opportunities to blend strategy with sensitivity while building a trusted communications function. “As I close this chapter, I do so with deep gratitude and a clear sense of readiness to take this experience into new environments,” she said, hinting at broader mandates ahead.
As she steps away, Sony loses its voice behind the curtain, the calm strategist who ensured its stories found the right tone at the right time. But for Dhir, the next chapter promises new audiences, bigger stages, and fresh scripts waiting to be written.
