Vaybhav Singh joins TBWAIndia as managing partner of its Digital Arts Network. He will report directly to Govind Pandey, chief executive officer, TBWAIndia. Singh will be based in Gurgaon.

Speaking on the new appointment, Pandey says in a press note, "Vaybhav's appointment comes at a time when we're not just consolidating our existing relationships but looking at growth from the new economy. I see him as a key part of the new management and his dual roles should let him steer the disruption offering to a new set of digital and content first clients."

Leading its Digital Arts Network is particularly interesting for me since I take to technology and business much easier than most people.
