MEC India ropes in Mukti Kumaran as West Head
Kumaran has over 18 years of experience in strategic planning, buying and new business development.
MEC India has appointed Mukti Kumaran as West Head. Prior to joining MEC, she was heading the Mumbai branch at IPG Media Brands-BPN.

"I believe the paradigm of media planning and buying is changing very rapidly. As consumers become platform-agnostic and increasingly digital, the approach to engaging with them becomes that much more interesting and challenging. My focus will be to ensure that we are pushing our understanding of consumers and evolving smarter and newer ways to engage our brands with them," Kumaran says.
