WebEngage onboards Harminder Singh Ari as VP of sales in India
Mumbai: Full-stack retention operating system platform WebEngage on Monday announced the onboarding of Harminder Singh Ari as VP of sales for India.
WebEngage is on a mission to help consumer businesses engage and retain customers better at scale through a robust customer data and analytics platform, a personalisation engine and an omnichannel campaign orchestration system.
“Harminder will provide strategic leadership spearheading the company’s expansion in the enterprise business where WebEngage already has successful and ongoing implementations with leading names as Unilever, L’Oréal, and Bajaj Auto,” it said in a statement.
“Enterprises in India are moving fast with data and technology-enabled digital transformation and we have seen very exciting early results in our engagements with enterprises. It’s exciting to now double down on our early wins and we are confident that Harminder’s deep knowledge of the enterprise software ecosystem in India will aid us massively in driving adoption and success among larger organisations,” stated WebEngage VP of global business development and partnerships Apoorv Sood. “The era of hundreds of pages of software specs and multi-year deployment plans is over, and enterprises need agile partners to stay flexible and move fast in the changing environment where they’re often competing with digital native new entrants.”
Harminder comes with over 14 years of experience in selling to Fortune 100 global companies having led sales teams with organisations such as SAP, Oracle & Ramco.
“WebEngage leadership’s passion for solving customer data, user engagement and retention led challenges for clients sets them up for success with the modern CMOs. I would love to take this to a larger audience and am looking forward to taking WebEngage to newer heights,” said Harminder Singh Ari on his new role.

Time brings TIME100 Next franchise to India with Reliance
List to spotlight 100 emerging leaders, gala set for December 2026 in Mumbai.
MUMBAI: It’s about time India’s next wave got a global spotlight and now, it’s on the list. New York-headquartered Time is expanding its TIME100 Next franchise to India, partnering with Reliance Industries Limited to launch TIME100 Next India, its first international extension of the rising leaders platform. The announcement was made at the Time100 Gala in New York by Jessica Sibley and Nita Mukesh Ambani, signalling a strategic push to tap into India’s growing influence across sectors.
The India edition will recognise 100 emerging leaders from the country and the global Indian diaspora, spanning business, science, sports, arts and social impact. The list will be curated by Time’s editorial team and published online, continuing the franchise’s focus on identifying individuals shaping the future.
The initiative will culminate in a gala event scheduled for December 2026 at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, anchoring the platform within India’s cultural and business ecosystem.
TIME’s broader Time100 franchise has steadily expanded its global footprint since 2021 through events and impact-led initiatives. Executives noted that India’s growing pool of influential voices and innovators made it a natural next step for the platform’s international ambitions.
For Reliance, the partnership aligns with its broader push to support emerging talent and ideas on a global stage. For Time, it marks a timely bet on India not just as a market, but as a talent engine shaping the next chapter of global leadership.
