“I’m delighted and excited to step into this new position as Head of Studio. What we have achieved together over the last six years here in India has been a source of great pride for me and is something that has not and could not be replicated anywhere other than here at DNEG. My thanks to Merzin for his constant support and guidance, and for this opportunity to step-up and help guide Team India to even greater success and achievements. This is just the beginning – watch this space!”
