MUMBAI: DAN Consult, the consulting division from the house of Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN), has roped in Milind Shah as Partner – Martech , RPA & Data . Milind will be based out of Mumbai and will report to Lalit Bhagia, CEO, DAN Consult. As Partner – Digital, his chief mandate will be to help build and lead a client-facing Martech, RPA and Data Consulting practise. This is part of the larger marketing transformation service offering of DAN Consult.
Prior to joining DAN Consult, Milind was Head of Sales – India with Cognizant Technology Solutions where he helped Cognizant significantly scale their India business. At Cognizant, Milind was responsible for topline, client satisfaction, go-to-market, marketing, strategy, alliances and growing the India market. He has an astute understanding of Indian business environment and the impact of digital technologies on various industries. With 20+ years of experience, Milind has worked in leadership and consulting roles across global organizations like IBM, HP and Capgemini and has advised clients across industry segments to traverse through the digital disruption in APAC . Milind has core industry expertise in industries like Retail, CPG and Manufacturing (discrete and process) and has experience of working in complex consulting projects.

He is also a Certified Supply Chain Professional by APICs and has also completed Part time Executive Management Program from University of Cornell. He teaches part time at Business Schools.
Commenting on the appointment, Lalit Bhagia, CEO, DAN Consult said, “We are excited to have somebody with the calibre of Milind in our team. Having worked in large global technology firms with a huge focus on Martech, RPA and digital transformation, we believe Milind will be able to add a lot of value to our clients’ business as they look at marketing/digital transformation. Milind’s understanding of the space and thought leadership will bring immense value to us and our clients’ businesses. As we focus on helping companies transform their business, we believe Milind will act as a true partner helping companies scale their business. We believe while a lot of firms like consulting and technology firms are now focused on Martech and data consulting, the unique advantage that DAN Consult has, is the ability to drive revenues and deliver ROI which Milind along with our extended team will be uniquely positioned to deliver.”
On his new role, Milind said, “It is estimated the Martech spend would overcome core technology spend in the next 5 years. Instead of balancing individual agency partners, tech firms and consulting firms in the Digital Transformation journey, DAN Consult provides a unique value proposition of growth hacking by delivering on clear business outcomes. There is a dearth of companies who deliver on business results as well as deliver complex Martech solutions where I believe DAN Consult plays uniquely by partnering with both technology product companies and clients. I am excited to join DAN Consult to grow their Martech, RPA and Data Practice.”
Milind lives in Mumbai and is a wildlife enthusiast and a PADI certified Scuba Diver.

Moneycontrol doubles ET audience in January rankings
Comscore data shows Moneycontrol ahead on reach, views and time spent
MUMBAI: Moneycontrol has begun 2026 with a decisive lead in India’s business news race, pulling in more than twice the audience of The Economic Times, according to January data from global measurement agency Comscore.
The figures make for striking reading. Moneycontrol recorded 63.38 million unique visitors last month, comfortably ahead of The Economic Times, which logged 30.61 million. In fact, Moneycontrol drew more readers than its next two business news rivals combined, tightening its grip on the category.
The advantage was not limited to reach. On page views, Moneycontrol clocked 249.25 million in January, nearly three times ET’s 97.18 million. The numbers suggest not just scale, but sustained user interest across stories, markets coverage and analytical tools.
Engagement told an even stronger story. Readers spent 581.29 million minutes on Moneycontrol during the month, more than five times the 111.90 million minutes recorded by The Economic Times. In the crowded digital marketplace, attention is currency, and Moneycontrol appears to be banking plenty of it.
“The latest numbers reflect the deep trust readers have placed in the quality of our content, the depth of our coverage of the stock markets and the cutting-edge analytical tools we provide to users,” said Moneycontrol managing editor Nalin Mehta. “In an increasingly fluid global environment, readers are looking for clarity and we remain sharply focused on providing credible, accurate and timely business information.”
Comscore’s January rankings reinforce Moneycontrol’s position at the top of India’s financial news ladder, underlining its continued dominance in both reach and reader engagement.
