Reppro schools the field with NTU India comms mandate
MUMBAI: Talk about a class act Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has picked The Reppro as its communications partner in India, giving the agency a fresh addition to its growing education portfolio. The remit covers Public Relations, Social Media, and Digital Marketing, all aimed at making NTU a go-to choice for Indian students and institutions.
India has emerged as a hotbed for global universities, with the number of Indian students heading to the UK skyrocketing by nearly 274 per cent since 2019. NTU, one of Britain’s top-ranked institutions, brings plenty to the table: teaching excellence, strong industry links, and an employability-first approach. With students from over 160 countries and ties with 300-plus universities worldwide, it blends academic prestige with real-world career outcomes.
The Reppro will craft an integrated communications strategy to boost NTU’s visibility in India, highlighting its global reputation and practical support for students from visas and funding to employability guidance. NTU senior regional manager Anna Audhali said: “India continues to be pivotal for Nottingham Trent University’s global outlook. Through this partnership, we hope to share NTU’s values and opportunities more widely, and strengthen connections with Indian students, families, and academic partners.”
For The Reppro, it’s a chance to put the spotlight on NTU’s strengths. The Reppro founder Amit Gupta noted: “As more Indian students seek world-class education with real-world relevance, our focus is to further raise NTU’s visibility in India and highlight the opportunities it offers.”
NTU has the credentials to back it up: its research has twice been honoured with the Queen’s Anniversary Prize (2015, 2021), with 83 per cent of its research rated world-leading or internationally excellent in REF 2021. Add to that being crowned ‘University of the Year’ five times in six years, and the message is clear NTU isn’t just teaching, it’s thriving.

Ember Cookware appoints Amit Singh as chief of supply chain
10-year veteran to lead operations as brand scales across D2C, quick commerce and retail.
MUMBAI: Ember just handed its supply chain the perfect seasoning because when your cookware is non-toxic and non-stick, the operations behind it better be fast and flawless. Ember Cookware has appointed Amit Singh as chief of supply chain and Services, bolstering its leadership team at a pivotal growth phase. Singh brings over a decade of experience in supply chain strategy, operations and large-scale network buildouts.
He began his career at Singapore-based retail giant Giant Hypermarket before joining Pharmeasy in 2015, where he played a foundational role in building and scaling its pan-India supply chain across B2B and B2C channels. At API Holdings, he later led supply chain operations for North India, managing end-to-end execution across complex, multi-city networks.
In his new role, Amit will oversee Ember’s complete supply chain and service ecosystem including sourcing, manufacturing coordination, logistics, last-mile delivery, post-purchase support and workforce development. His mandate focuses on building cost-efficient, resilient operations that shorten fulfilment times, strengthen inventory management and deliver a consistently high-quality consumer experience as the brand expands nationally.
Ember Cookware co-founder & CEO Siddharth Gadodia said, “Supply chain is where growth either holds or breaks. As we scale across channels and geographies, we need operations that are efficient, resilient, and built for speed, without ever compromising on the consumer experience. Amit has done this before, at real scale.”
Ember Cookware co-founder & CMO Himanshi Tandon added, “As we scale, supply chain efficiency becomes as important as product and brand. Amit’s mandate is to build the operational foundations that make our promise consistent at scale.”
Amit Singh commented, “Ember is building something genuinely different, a category-defining brand with a clear purpose and the ambition to match. I’m looking forward to building supply chain infrastructure that doesn’t just keep pace with growth, but enables it.”
The appointment forms part of Ember’s broader push to deepen leadership across key functions as it invests in its Innovation Lab, proprietary material technologies and operational backbone to support national expansion.
In a kitchenware world where non-stick promises are easy but delivery is hard, Ember isn’t just cooking up products, it’s cooking up an operation that keeps every promise sizzling from factory to fork.
