Srikanth Raman joins Starcom as media director
MUMBAI: It has been a brief tenure to say the least for Srikant Raman at Triton Communications. Raman joins Starcom Worldwide’s Mumbai office tomorrow as media director.
Raman, who was with Triton for barely two months as media director, was one among quite a few departures from Carat after CEO Meenakshi Madhvani left the company.
One of the key accounts that Raman is expected to look after at Starcom is that of the public sector giant Indian Oil Corporation (IOC). It was in June that Leo Burnett India bagged the integrated “full service” advertising account of IOC. Leo Burnett handles the creative and client servicing functions whereas Starcom manages the centralised media planning and buying. Raman has some experience of working with IOC as it was an account he looked after when he was at Mudra.
Talking about the move Raman says: “Triton is a great place but the short stint is unfortunate. I suppose the timing was slightly wrong and other factors such as Starcom bagging the account of Indian Oil Corporation were responsible for my decision to shift. I am looking forward to joining Starcom as the media agency is doing some great things. Working with the young and dynamic team at Starcom is bound to be a great experience.”
So the hirings at Starcom continue, with more announcements expected.

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.
