Zeta Interactive, today announced the appointment of Anil
Unnikrishnan as the company’s new President of India Operations.
He will replace Pradeep Vegunta, who announced his retirement
earlier this week after years of leadership and guidance in the digital
marketing industry. Vegunta had been with Zustek since 2001, and served as the
India office president for Zeta Interactive since February of this year.
Unnikrishnan is an eight-year digital marketing veteran who has
been with Zeta Interactive since 2004 (then Zustek), and formerly
led the company’s Full Services team. His specialty
has been the development of new products and email deployment along with new
client transitions into the full-service environment. He will be responsible for
the further expansion of a vital outpost of Zeta Interactive and driving the
integrated technology solutions that have become a hallmark of the
company.
“Pradeep has been a valued leader for Zeta Interactive, and has
played an instrumental role in building our company into one of today’s leading
full-service digital marketing agencies,” said Al DiGuido, CEO of Zeta
Interactive.
“Anil will bring a fresh approach and leadership to the Indian
operations at a time when we continue to see this team as integrally important
to our current and future operations. His vision, work ethic and passion for
taking Zeta Interactive India to the next level will bring added value to the
company as we expand our operations,” Al DiGuido, added further.
Unnikrishnan will join a team of 11 recently named senior
management leaders, and will report directly to CEO, Al DiGuido.
This announcement follows steady progress within Zeta Interactive
since its launch. Over the past five months, the company has grown its client
roster to more than 200 customers, and recently announced the signings of
Fortune 1000 companies such as Foxwoods Resort Casino, The Weather Channel and
Century 21. The company has also opened its corporate headquarters in a 13,000
square-foot Manhattan office, and increased its staff to over 300 employees.
Zeta Interactive will also be opening new offices in India in the coming months
to support the growth of the company’s international presence.
