Executive reshuffle within Asia at Lowe
MUMBAI: Lowe has undergone some executive reshuffling within the Asian network. Lowe Dubai MD Vikas Mehta, Lowe India senior VP T Krishna and Lowe India senior VP (business head) Sabyasachi Misra all have been given new portfolios to manage.
While Mehta will now be posted in India as regional strategic planning director for the Unilever businesses, Krishna will be heading strategic planning for the North Asian region – China, Hong Kong and Korea.
Misra, who was heading one of the four business units in India, will be taking over as managing director of Lowe Vietnam. Misra will be replacing current Vietnam head Tim Hennessy. Lowe Vietnam handles Coke, Mercedes, J&J and Unilever.
Stepping into Misra’s shoes in India is Sanjay Srivastava who was also made a brand strategist recently.
Speaking on the internal shuffle, Lowe president and COO Pranesh Misra says, “This reshuffle is a part of an ongoing process and our people seem to be in very high demand. When our worldwide network checked with us, these individuals owing to their experience and caliber agreed to take on international assignments.”
While no replacement has yet been made for Mehta, Lowe Dubai chairman Ajay Srikhande will be overlooking operations until a decision is made.
When queried as to whether these assignments were time bound, Misra clarified that currently there was no specific time-bound arrangement and that changes would be incorporated as and when the need was felt within the worldwide network.

Collective Artists Network reshuffles talent leadership
Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee take expanded roles in core division.
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network just handed the talent baton to its homegrown stars because when your agents have been building careers this long, it’s time to let them run the show. Collective Artists Network has announced the next phase of leadership for its talent management business, elevating senior agents Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee to expanded roles within the division. The move strengthens the company’s foundational talent arm while it continues to grow into content creation and production-led ventures.
Each of the three has played a significant part in shaping artist careers across films, digital platforms and brand partnerships. Together they now represent the next generation of leadership for Collective’s talent operations, with a continued focus on long-term career building, strong partnerships and adapting representation to a fast-changing media landscape.
Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam remains actively involved in guiding artist strategy and key relationships. He said, “Talent management has been the foundation on which Collective was built, and that philosophy continues to guide how we grow the company. As we enter this next phase, it’s important that the people leading this business have both deep context and long-term convictions.”
Collective Artists Network partner and head of talent Janahavi Rawal added, “Collective’s talent business has always been built on trust, long-term thinking, and a deep understanding of where artists want to go next. Fiona, Jinal, and Arjun have each played an important role in shaping the careers of the artists we represent, and this phase is about empowering our senior agents further while building the right support systems around them.”
The leadership evolution reflects Collective’s belief in promoting from within and creating clear ownership across verticals. In a talent world where yesterday’s agent is tomorrow’s partner, Collective isn’t just reshuffling chairs, it’s handing the spotlight to the people who’ve been quietly directing the show all along.
