Rishit Mehta named CFO of Omnicom Media India

MUMBAI: Omnicom Media India has tapped Rishit Mehta as its new chief financial officer, signalling a tighter grip on operations as the network races to scale in one of the world’s fastest-growing ad markets. The announcement was shared internally by Tony Harradine, chief executive of Omnicom Media APAC.

The leadership rejig does not stop there. Kartik Sharma steps in as chief executive officer for India operations, while Amardeep Singh takes charge as chief operating officer. Industry stalwart Shashi Sinha shifts into an advisory role, offering strategic counsel as the company beds in a sweeping post-merger overhaul after acquiring Interpublic Group in the region.

The restructure is designed to steer the integrated entity smoothly through a turbulent transition, strengthening client delivery, synchronising agency backbones and pushing for sharper growth in a market that refuses to slow down.

Formal announcements are expected on the India portal in the coming days. Until then, all eyes are on Omnicom’s new power trio, tasked with proving that bold moves can beat market headwinds to the finish line.
