Bruce Anderson announced as Dejero CEO
MUMBAI: Dejero, an innovator in cloud-managed solutions that simplify the transport of live video and real-time data across remote or mobile IP networks, has announced Bruce Anderson as its new CEO, taking over from Brian Cram who has headed the company for the last five years.
Hailing from Zimbabwe, Anderson is a veteran senior executive with a 20-year proven record of managing international businesses for multinational corporations, most recently for the global commodity producer and trader firm Glencore. Anderson has strong leadership skills and is highly goal oriented with a strong entrepreneurial flair for driving business results and maximizing profitability. He is an Honours Bachelor of Accounting Science graduate from the University of South Africa, a country where he also qualified as a Chartered Accountant. He is familiar with Dejero’s business after spending years living and working in Canada.
“Joining Dejero at a time of accelerated growth for the company and huge change that is taking place across the entire media and entertainment sector is hugely exciting,” said Bruce Anderson. “I look forward to taking the business forward as we expand Dejero’s portfolio and increase our presence across the globe. I particularly look forward to meeting Dejero’s existing customers and partners and to working with the in-house team to drive the next phase of our growth.”
“We are delighted to welcome Bruce Anderson to the team, as he brings in-depth global experience and expertise to our company at a time when Dejero is poised to sustainably grow not only geographically, but also into new market verticals,” said Dejero founder and CTO Bogdan Frusina.
Anderson’s priorities as he hits the ground will be to drive the launch of new connectivity solutions later in the year, that provide fast, reliable and secure access to the public Internet and private networks. The new Dejero products and services will enable news companies and production teams to access media assets at a broadcast centre or studio, and quickly transfer very large files from their vehicle while on location or in transit, saving valuable time.
Other priorities for the new CEO will include further expansion of the Dejero portfolio within the LATAM, EMEA and APAC markets, supported by a recent $14 million growth financing deal that was recently struck with Wellington Financial LP.
Frusina continued, “I would like to warmly thank Brian Cram as he transitions his responsibilities to Bruce having accomplished so much in his time as CEO. Brian had always intended to pass the reigns over, it was just a matter of timing and he has now decided that the time is right. Bruce is the perfect candidate to take over from Brian in that respect.”
Under the stewardship of Brian Cram, Dejero became a leader in remote connectivity solutions for the broadcast market and has been recognised on Deloitte’s Fast 50 and Fast 500 for the past three consecutive years. Brian Cram remains an investor in Dejero.

Samay Raina returns with Still Alive, confronts 2025 controversy in bold comeback special
Comeback set tackles controversy, blending humour with raw storytelling
MUMBAI: Samay Raina is set to release his new stand-up comedy special, Still Alive, on YouTube on April 7, 2026, marking a high-profile return following a turbulent year.
The trailer for the special dropped on April 5, offering a glimpse into what Raina describes as a raw and unfiltered set that leans as much on honesty as it does on humour.
Positioned as a comeback of sorts, Still Alive draws heavily from the controversy surrounding his show India’s Got Latent in early 2025. The episode led to legal trouble, multiple FIRs, and a lengthy six-hour interrogation by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, placing the comedian at the centre of intense public scrutiny.
Rather than sidestep the episode, Raina leans into it. The special reflects on the fallout and his personal journey through it, blending observational comedy with moments of emotional candour. Early audience feedback from live performances suggests the tone is less about rapid-fire punchlines and more about storytelling with bite.
The special was filmed during his global Still Alive & Unfiltered tour, which ran from August 2025 to early 2026. The tour saw Raina perform across major international venues, including the Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York, a milestone that places him among the youngest Indian comedians to take that stage.
The title itself signals resilience. “Still Alive” is a nod to navigating both legal and public backlash while choosing to remain unapologetically authentic, a theme that appears to anchor the set.
With the special set to premiere online, all eyes are now on how audiences respond to a performance that promises equal parts reflection and wit. For Raina, the message is clear. He is not just back, he is ready to be heard on his own terms.
