Singh says, “China is a huge Internet market with more than 160 million subscribers, which is roughly four times that of India. Its gaming and animation market is gaining importance in the international digital arena. It will be really interesting to see how local portals there have emerged as leaders in their respective genres. I am looking forward to this challenge and hope to apply some learning from the Indian market there.”

Singh started his career in 2001 with King Infotech Software Solutions, a software development company. A year later, he went off to study for an MBA. In 2004, he joined StudioSmile as a project consultant. He moved to GroupM in March 2005, when Interaction was just being set up.
