Dentsu floats sports marketing company in Asia
MUMBAI: Dentsu has announced the formation of Dentsu Sports Asia.
Starting operations in Singapore, the aim of the new entity is to strengthen and expand the Dentsu Group’s sports business in Asia.
In addition to promoting international development of the content business domain as part of its global strategy, Dentsu has established sports business operations in key overseas locations.
In September 2007, Dentsu established its European base, Dentsu Sports Europe, Ltd., in London. This was followed by the establishment in July 2009 of Dentsu Sports America, Inc. in New York as a strategic base for the expansion of Dentsu’s sports business in the Americas.
The addition of Dentsu Sports Asia to these two established bases will enable Dentsu to develop its sports business on an even wider global scale.
Acting as a link between Dentsu and other Dentsu Group companies, Dentsu Sports Asia will develop new sports business opportunities in Asia, a region that is showing remarkable growth.
The new company will also collaborate with other Group companies throughout the world to market the rights to international sports events in Asia.
In addition to marketing the rights to sports events such as the IAAF World Championships in Athletics, the Fina World Championships, the Asian Games and the East Asian Football Championship, Dentsu Sports Asia will plan and bid for the increasing number of international sports events held in Asia, as well as developing new sports content.
Dentsu spokesperson Shusaku Kannan said, “Dentsu Sports Asia will not only boost our sports business operations to the world’s emerging growth center but also represent a globally unprecedented bid to establish a new business model in this area ranging from the marketing of rights to sports events to the creation of sports business opportunities. In other words, we are going to offer a one-stop solution for the sports business community.”

Ember Cookware appoints Amit Singh as chief of supply chain
10-year veteran to lead operations as brand scales across D2C, quick commerce and retail.
MUMBAI: Ember just handed its supply chain the perfect seasoning because when your cookware is non-toxic and non-stick, the operations behind it better be fast and flawless. Ember Cookware has appointed Amit Singh as chief of supply chain and Services, bolstering its leadership team at a pivotal growth phase. Singh brings over a decade of experience in supply chain strategy, operations and large-scale network buildouts.
He began his career at Singapore-based retail giant Giant Hypermarket before joining Pharmeasy in 2015, where he played a foundational role in building and scaling its pan-India supply chain across B2B and B2C channels. At API Holdings, he later led supply chain operations for North India, managing end-to-end execution across complex, multi-city networks.
In his new role, Amit will oversee Ember’s complete supply chain and service ecosystem including sourcing, manufacturing coordination, logistics, last-mile delivery, post-purchase support and workforce development. His mandate focuses on building cost-efficient, resilient operations that shorten fulfilment times, strengthen inventory management and deliver a consistently high-quality consumer experience as the brand expands nationally.
Ember Cookware co-founder & CEO Siddharth Gadodia said, “Supply chain is where growth either holds or breaks. As we scale across channels and geographies, we need operations that are efficient, resilient, and built for speed, without ever compromising on the consumer experience. Amit has done this before, at real scale.”
Ember Cookware co-founder & CMO Himanshi Tandon added, “As we scale, supply chain efficiency becomes as important as product and brand. Amit’s mandate is to build the operational foundations that make our promise consistent at scale.”
Amit Singh commented, “Ember is building something genuinely different, a category-defining brand with a clear purpose and the ambition to match. I’m looking forward to building supply chain infrastructure that doesn’t just keep pace with growth, but enables it.”
The appointment forms part of Ember’s broader push to deepen leadership across key functions as it invests in its Innovation Lab, proprietary material technologies and operational backbone to support national expansion.
In a kitchenware world where non-stick promises are easy but delivery is hard, Ember isn’t just cooking up products, it’s cooking up an operation that keeps every promise sizzling from factory to fork.
