    Vivek-Bhargava

    When he is not evangelising digital, Vivek Bhargava is playing table tennis. The DAN Performance Group CEO is a passionate table tennis enthusiast, he has been a medalist in the last two national tournaments in the 40-plus category and has helped setup and run a table tennis academy in Central Mumbai.

     

    Now iProspect India, a part of the Dentsu Aegis Network, has grabbed sponsorship of the team iProspect Challengers consisting of star players such as Han Ying (World Rank 6), Petrissa Solja (World Rank 13), Andrej Gacina (World Rank 18), Li Ping (World Rank 26) and Soumyajit Ghosh (Youngest National Champion and Qualifier for London Olympics).

     

    The league consists of 48 International and domestic players forming six teams. The inaugural season of the country’s first ever professional table tennis league will be played from July 13 to July 30, 2017.

     

    Said Bhargava: “iProspect was the title sponsor for the first two seasons of Mumbai Super League – it was time to attempt doing something much larger. I believe that every kid should attempt playing a competitive sport. It teaches you two things- one, to lose early in life and how to handle it and two, the only way to improve your game is to work harder – life is the same!”

  • Rubeena Singh is CEO, iProspect India as Vivek Bhargava to helm DAN Performance Group

    By A Correspondent

     

    iProspect India, the digital agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, has appointed Rubeena Singh as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective December. The move coincides with former CEO Vivek Bhargava being elevated to a larger role in the form of CEO of DAN Performance Group, heading and responsible for all the Digital Performance Agencies of Dentsu Aegis Media. In this new arrangement, Singh will report into Bhargava.

     

    Commenting on the new appointment, Bhargava said: “I am delighted to have Rubeena join the iProspect India family and extend a warm welcome to her. The digital performance industry in India has progressed from being used merely for acquisitions to now being a medium for brand communication. Rubeena’s vast experience in all three media formats – broadcast, print and digital will give iProspect India a competitive advantage as the performance industry makes this transition.  Moreover, having Rubeena lead iProspect India will allow me to launch the other performance brands of Dentsu Aegis Media into India.”

     

    Expressing her views on the new role, Singh said: “This is an exciting time for India in general and the Indian marketing and media industry in particular. Digital India is coming of age and the Indian government has clearly demonstrated its firm intent to take the country into the digital era. The Aadhar stack is unique to India and gives over a 1000 million Indians a unique digital identity. The ever increasing internet penetration through smart phones and government push to get people to start transacting digitally through smartphones is a game changer. To me, the macro and micro trends of India becoming a truly digitally interconnected nation of over a billion people are now converging. This will have huge ramifications for businesses and how they connect with their customers. Having spent time in both print as well as TV media, I think the shift in allocation of media spends from traditional to digital will happen faster than thought before.”
