Saket Sinha will work with Mindshare South Asia CEO Prasanth Kumar and lead m/Six India as senior vice president of client leadership, focusing exclusively on growing and leading the brand. Under Sinha’s leadership m/Six in the last one year has acquired key clients across a variety of consumer product categories. M/Six today has offices in three zones – west, south and north.

We are very excited with the opportunities across the landscape and we are sure that the army of leadership we have in the organisation will produce great results to our clients and therefore a successful journey for us.”
