The Group is witnessing unprecedented growth all around, with increase in spends from existing clients, the rush of new business, as well as talent. There is a lot of vibrancy and energy flowing within. I am sure that Radhakrishnan will now be a part of it. She has rich and varied experience across all key verticals of digital marketing and we are delighted to have her on board. Her real strength lies in delivering high RoI for clients."

Performics is one digital organisation that really invests into its products and has the best in class tools and technologies. I am thrilled to set up and lead their programmatic offering and product standardisation, which is the need of the hour, and will help us add value to our clients. It's indeed a splendid opportunity to work with people who have a great vision and contribute to bring the ZOG Live RoI philosophy to life."
