    Shreyas Srinivasan resigns post Zomato acquisition

    Mumbai: In a significant leadership transition, Shreyas Srinivasan, chief product officer (CPO) of Paytm and founder of Paytm Insider, has resigned following Zomato’s acquisition of the ticketing platform. This move marks a pivotal moment in the evolving landscape of India’s digital entertainment and fintech sectors.

    Srinivasan, who co-founded Insider.in in 2014, played a crucial role in shaping India’s live entertainment ticketing industry. Under his leadership, the platform expanded its offerings to include a diverse range of events, from stand-up comedy shows to adventure treks, catering to a broad audience base. In 2017, Paytm acquired a majority stake in Insider.in, integrating it into its ecosystem and rebranding it as Paytm Insider.

    The recent acquisition of Paytm Insider by Zomato signifies the food delivery giant’s strategic entry into the live events and entertainment sector. This move aligns with Zomato’s broader vision to diversify its services and enhance user engagement beyond food delivery.

    Srinivasan’s departure raises questions about the future direction of Paytm’s product development and its strategy in the entertainment domain. His resignation follows a series of leadership changes within Paytm, including the exit of president and COO Bhavesh Gupta earlier this year.

    Uninor makes leadership changes in telecom circles

    NEW DELHI: Uninor has made leadership changes in its three circles – east, west and south. Additionally, the telecom company has also appointed a circle business head (CBH) for Assam.

     

    Uttar Pradesh (West) CBH KC Narendran will take over as UP (East) CBH, whereas Satish Kumar Kannan will move to UP (West) as its CBH.

     

    Shrinath Kotian, the current sales and distribution head of Maharashtra and Goa circles, will replace Kannan as the circle business head of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

     

    Uninor has also appointed Anil Kumar as the Assam CBH, where its service will be commercially launched later this year.

     

    All changes are effective 1 June this year.

     

    “The current organisational changes are example of how Uninor believes in growing and developing its own people to take newer challenges. I am confident that they will do their best to further grow our business in their respective circles. I wish all of them a great success and request all of us to provide necessary support in making Uninor successful,” said Telewings Communications Services (Uninor) CEO Vivek Sood.

     

    Narendran joined Uninor in 2008, and has served as CMO and head of sales & distribution in UP (W) before taking the helm. He has 23 years of experience in the telecom industry and will be now responsible for UP (East), the largest circle for Uninor. Kannan will take over UP (West) from Narendran.

     

    Kannan, the current CBH for Andhra Pradesh, has been responsible for growing Uninor business to over 5.5 million subscribers in the circle. He had earlier served as the head of marketing AP. He joined Uninor in 2009 from Vodafone India.

     

    The new Assam CBH Anil Kumar has over 18 years of experience in handling distribution, retail channels and cluster strategy. Before being elevated as Assam circle head, Kumar was the sales and distribution head of Maharashtra and Goa circle.

     

    Kotian joined Uninor in 2009. He moved to M&G as sales head in October 2014 from Gujarat where he was the marketing head of circle.
