SVG Media appoints Akshay Mathur as Sr. Vice President of Komli Media

SVG Media today announced the appointment of Akshay Mathur as Senior Vice President of KomliMedia, effective immediately. In his new role in Komli Media, Akshay will lead business operations as well as Sales & Marketing functions  and will be responsible for its P&L. He was most recently the Senior Director of Sales at Komli Media, leading up to Komli’s merger with SVG Media last month.

Akshay joined Komli in 2011 and has a total of 13-years of experience in both digital and print sales. Before joining Komli, Akshay was a part of the revenue monetization team and focused on the telecom industry in Yahoo Inc. He has earlier worked with The Times of India, The People Group and The Jaypee Group in various sales and marketing roles. He had also founded an e-commerce and web solutions company, Orion Technologies in the year 2000.

Welcoming Akshay to SVG’s leadership team, Manish Vij, Founder and CEO, SVG Media said, “Akshay’s rich experience, client relationships and his deep understanding of Komli’s business and the internal environment make him the natural choice for leading Komli’s next phase of growth under the SVG umbrella.  We also welcome other senior leadership of Komli Media by retaining the team and culture of the organization.

Akshay said, "I am extremely excited to work with the renewed energies and vision of the company. Jointly, Komli Media & SVG Media will be India's leading Ad-Tech Company and I am confident that with this merger, we will be able to take Komli Media to even greater heights. The company continues to work independently, under the SVG Media portfolio. We also plan to provide our customers with new media and technological solutions by leveraging next generation programmatic buying platforms."

In August 2015, SVG Media announced that it is merging Komli Media’s India business and global brand rights with itself to create India’s leading Digital Marketing Platform. Komli India now functions as an independent entity under SVG Media, with the latter serving as an umbrella company. As a combined entity, the new SVG Media group’s consolidated India revenues stand at over US$50 million.
