Preeti Misra Joins Open Media & Fortune India as Head of Events
Preeti Misra brings two decades of experience to a business that smells opportunity in live gatherings
MUMBAI: Fortune India is serious about live events and it has just hired someone who knows how to fill a room. Preeti Misra has been appointed Head of Events at Open Media & Fortune India, the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group’s media and publications arm, tasked with turning both brands into destination platforms for India’s business and intellectual elite.
Misra arrives with more than 20 years of experience in marketing communications, brand strategy and large-scale events. She has held senior roles at India Today Group, Laqshya Media Group, Times Internet and C S Direkt Events & Exhibitions, a career that spans mass-market spectacle and niche power gatherings alike. Few in the industry have logged that many miles across so many formats.
In her new role, she will run the events vertical across both Open Media and Fortune India, with a brief to build what the group describes as high-impact intellectual and experiential platforms, the kind that blur the line between editorial credibility and boardroom currency. She will report directly to Sahil Shetty, Chief Executive Officer of Open Media & Fortune India.
The appointment signals a clear strategic push. Events have become a serious revenue line for legacy media houses in India, offering advertisers something a banner ad cannot: a captive room full of decision-makers. For Fortune India, a brand that already speaks to the C-suite, the upside is obvious. Misra’s job is to make it real and make it happen quickly.
