Sunder Venketraman exits Verse Innovation after five years as CBO

MUMBAI: Every story has a final verse, and for Sunder Venketraman, the latest chapter has just come to a close. Sunder Venketraman has stepped down as chief business officer of Verse Innovation after a five-year stint that saw him play a pivotal role in shaping the company’s commercial strategy and growth trajectory.

During his tenure, Venketraman helped strengthen the company’s business ecosystem, forging partnerships across the advertising, creator and media landscape while supporting the expansion of one of India’s leading digital content platforms. His leadership coincided with a period of significant growth, as Verse Innovation broadened its reach and deepened its engagement with brands, creators and industry stakeholders.

Reflecting on his departure, Verse Innovation chief business officer Sunder Venketraman said the past five years had been among the most meaningful of his professional journey.

“The last five years at Verse Innovation have been a chapter I will look back on with real pride and gratitude. I had the privilege of working alongside people who brought genuine commitment to everything they did, colleagues who pushed me to think bigger, partners who placed their trust in us, and creators whose work reminded me of the impact we were working towards,” he said.

With more than two decades of experience spanning business leadership, partnerships and growth, Venketraman leaves with a strong track record of building commercial relationships and scaling businesses in the digital ecosystem.

While neither the company nor Venketraman has announced his next move, he indicated that he is preparing for the road ahead. His exit marks the end of an important phase for Verse Innovation and the beginning of a new chapter for a leader who has spent years helping businesses grow at the intersection of content, creators and commerce.
