MUMBAI: Looks like Nas Daily’s storytelling engine just found its new navigator. Aakarsh Gupta, the man who’s helped power billions of views and stories across continents, has been elevated to head of operations (global) at Nas Daily, where he’ll now lead 1000 Media, the company’s sister arm that crafts social media content for brands worldwide.
Over the past three years, Aakarsh has been one of the key architects of Nas Daily’s global rise, steering production teams that helped the platform cross 10 billion views and execute shoots in over 50 countries, from Sudan and Mongolia to Ecuador and Cuba. His work on projects like the “Religion Challenge” series pushed creative and cultural boundaries, blending storytelling with social exploration.
Before joining Nas Daily, Aakarsh worked with global powerhouses like Netflix, National Geographic, and Dubai Tourism, creating campaigns that inspired curiosity and human connection. His storytelling lens has always been global but his approach deeply personal.
Speaking about his new role, Aakarsh Gupta said, “At Nas Daily, everything we do is about connection people, ideas, and stories. My goal is to make our operations as creative and agile as our content. Because when our teams move fast and feel inspired, we create stories that bring the world a little closer together.”
As head of operations, Aakarsh’s next chapter will see him scale Nas Daily’s creative ecosystem streamlining workflows, mentoring creators, and ensuring every story travels faster, farther, and with purpose.
With Aakarsh at the helm, Nas Daily seems ready to turn every 1-minute story into a masterclass in global storytelling.

Info Edge reshuffles senior roles, Ambrish Singh to 99acres, Bhisham Dhingra to lead Shiksha strategy
Leadership changes at Shiksha and 99acres aim to drive sharper growth focus
MUMBAI: Info Edge (India) Limited has approved an internal reorganisation of its education and real estate verticals, setting the stage for leadership changes aimed at sharpening execution and accelerating growth. The move, cleared by the board on April 14 through a circular resolution, will come into effect from May 1, 2026.
The restructuring impacts the company’s Shiksha and 99acres businesses, two key pillars in its portfolio, and involves role changes for senior management personnel. As part of the reshuffle, Ambrish Kumar Singh, previously executive vice president and head of sales and customer delivery for Shiksha, has been redesignated as executive vice president and head of sales and sales enablement at 99acres. A long-time company leader since 2003, Singh is expected to focus on boosting business performance, strengthening client relationships and building high-performing teams in his new role.
Meanwhile, Bhisham Dhingra, who led sales and customer delivery at 99acres, will now take on an expanded mandate as head of sales, strategy and client delivery for Shiksha. With over two decades of experience across global and Indian organisations, Dhingra will spearhead growth strategy, corporate sales and client engagement for the domestic education vertical.
Both executives will continue as senior management personnel, albeit with revised responsibilities aligned to the company’s broader restructuring goals.
Info Edge said the changes are part of ongoing efforts to leverage leadership expertise across business lines and improve operational effectiveness. The company added that the reshuffle is designed to drive stronger outcomes by aligning talent with evolving business priorities.
As Info Edge continues to fine-tune its structure, the latest leadership moves suggest a clear intent to keep its core platforms nimble, competitive and ready for the next phase of growth.
