Delhi Capitals gets new marketing head
MUMBAI: He’s taken a trip from Lucknow to Delhi. Atishay Agarwal has moved on from Lucknow Super Giants as head of digital to Delhi Capitals as head of marketing. Agarwal has 16 years of work experience – from being an editor to being an analyst and anchor and a digital and social media marketer.
According to him, the transition is a both a victory and a breakthrough for him.. “.Over the last decade and more, professionals in content and digital marketing have often been seen as “digital-only” resources rather than integral marketing leaders,” he revealed in a post on linkedin.
“Historically, marketing leadership roles have been dominated by specialists in offline marketing, while digital-first professionals like myself have questioned: “????’? ??? ???? ?? ?????? ?????? ????????” And for very long, I didn’t have any answer whatsoever. It often felt like this is all I could do for the rest of my career!
This opportunity with Delhi Capitals represents a shift – one that I’m incredibly grateful for. It’s a recognition that digital expertise is not different or just a subset of marketing, but a cornerstone of modern marketing. Joining the franchise gives me the platform to learn, grow, and maximise my potential alongside an exceptional team.”

Naveen Kokkanti promoted to director – devOps at Nasdaq
Tech leader steps up to steer innovation and modernise systems
BENGALURU: Naveen Kokkanti has been elevated to director – devOps at Nasdaq, marking a defining moment in his 14 year journey through the fast evolving world of digital transformation.
Based in Bengaluru, Kokkanti moves into the role after a short but impactful stint as lead devOps engineer at the global exchange operator. In his new position, he will focus on driving innovation, sharpening operational efficiency and reinforcing the organisation’s technology backbone.
For Kokkanti, the promotion reflects more than a change in title. It crowns over a decade of building, migrating and modernising enterprise systems across some of the biggest names in technology and consulting.
Before joining Nasdaq in 2025, he spent four years at Deloitte Consulting as senior consultant, where he worked extensively on large scale cloud and data transformations. His work ranged from migrating legacy data applications to AWS and implementing unity catalog governance frameworks, to designing multi cloud Databricks lakehouse strategies. He was also part of Deloitte’s Databricks alliance core team, contributing to go to market initiatives and publishing technical whitepapers on migration and architecture best practices.
Earlier roles at Virtusa and Infosys saw him lead cloud migrations, design secure infrastructure environments and manage enterprise grade AWS ecosystems. At Infosys, he led a team of engineers while overseeing everything from VPC architecture and IAM policies to disaster recovery, security hardening and cost optimisation.
His career began with hands on infrastructure and support roles at Micro Focus, Cerner Corporation and Dell Technologies, where he developed a strong foundation in systems engineering, virtualisation and enterprise IT operations.
Across roles, a consistent theme emerges. Kokkanti thrives at the intersection of cloud, data and governance. From Terraform and AWS to Databricks and enterprise devOps frameworks, his skillset reflects the growing demand for leaders who can translate complex infrastructure into scalable, secure and business ready platforms.
At Nasdaq, that blend of technical depth and leadership experience is set to play a key role as the organisation continues to evolve its global technology infrastructure. For Kokkanti, the promotion is not just about moving up. It is about building forward.
