    Anuja Trivedi named chief strategy and marketing officer as Shemaroo eyes next phase

    MUMBAI: Shemaroo Entertainment has expanded the remit of Anuja Trivedi, elevating her to chief strategy and marketing officer (CSMO). In addition to leading marketing, she will now head the central strategy team, cementing the company’s sharper focus on long-term growth, integrated brand positioning and closer consumer alignment.

    Since joining as chief marketing officer in 2023, Trivedi has driven brand growth and boosted visibility for Shemaroo’s TV, OTT and digital platforms.
