Bureau appoints Vanita Pandey as CMO to steer global marketing and GTM strategy
MUMBAI: Identity and risk decisioning platform Bureau has appointed Vanita Pandey as its chief marketing officer to lead its global go-to-market strategy amid a phase of rapid international expansion. With more than 15 years of experience in identity, fraud prevention, and fintech marketing, Vanita joins Bureau at a pivotal time as it sharpens its global positioning post-Series B.
Pandey steps into the role with a brief to drive high-performance GTM campaigns, build a globally consistent brand narrative, and launch product-led growth strategies across the Americas, middle east, and southeast Asia. She will work closely with Bureau’s product and sales teams to expand reach across fintech, banking, and digital-native verticals.
“In a market where trust drives growth, clarity and narrative are strategic advantages”, said Bureau founder & CEO Ranjan R Reddy. “Vanita knows how to turn complex risk and identity challenges into stories that win customers and shape industries. Her proven ability to build demand engines will be instrumental in realising Bureau’s global vision”.
Pandey most recently served as CMO at CAF, a digital identity company in LATAM. Her earlier stints include senior roles at Visa, Capital One, Simility (acquired by Paypal), ThreatMetrix (acquired by LexisNexis), and Arkose Labs. She is known for leading product marketing in highly regulated, growth-focused environments and scaling GTM initiatives across global markets.
Speaking on her new role, Pandey said, “What excites me is Bureau’s mission-critical approach to scale—driven by the aim to future-proof the digital economy. I look forward to scaling a global brand that doesn’t just react to market shifts but operates ahead of them”.
Her appointment follows Bureau’s Series B funding round led by Sorenson Capital and Paypal Ventures, and the onboarding of chief analytics & risk officer Venkat Srinivasan—both indicators of the company’s broader push to build global leadership in digital trust infrastructure.

Gurpreet Singh named President of DishTV Alumni Network
Former Dish TV executive to lead community building and collaboration.
MUMBAI: Back to the dish, but this time it’s about connections, not channels Gurpreet Singh is returning to familiar territory with a new mandate that swaps subscribers for relationships. Singh has been appointed President of the DishTV Alumni Network, a move aimed at strengthening ties among former employees and building a more engaged professional community around the Dish TV ecosystem. The initiative reflects a growing trend among large organisations to formalise alumni networks as platforms for collaboration, mentorship and business opportunities.
The appointment draws on Singh’s deep-rooted history with Dish TV, where he held multiple leadership roles over nearly a decade. As National Business Head between June 2019 and September 2020, he oversaw profit and loss as well as operations, managing revenues of Rs 6,000 crore and leading a team of around 1,250 employees across the country. His tenure included working alongside two regional business heads and 16 circle heads, underscoring the scale of operations he handled.
Prior to that, Singh served as Executive Vice President and National Head for Sales and Revenue from 2016 to 2019, and earlier as Senior Vice President and National Head for Sales and Revenue. He also briefly led international operations as Country Head for Sri Lanka, further expanding his exposure across markets.
His broader career spans leadership roles across telecom and consumer businesses, including a stint as Chief Operating Officer at Bharti Airtel’s Malawi operations, senior leadership roles at Reliance Communications, and earlier positions at Hindustan Sanitaryware and Kodak India, where he spent over a decade.
In his new role, Singh is expected to focus on reconnecting former employees, fostering collaboration, and building a structured alumni ecosystem that leverages shared experience and industry networks. As companies increasingly recognise the long-term value of their extended workforce, the DishTV Alumni Network appears set to turn nostalgia into a strategic asset, one connection at a time.
