After 11 years and 4 months, I’m wrapping up a deeply meaningful journey with JioStar / Star — a place that shaped me, challenged me, and truly made me who I am professionally.”

He added, “I’m extremely excited to share that I will be taking up a new role soon — a new beginning that I’m stepping into with gratitude, energy and a lot of optimism. To my leaders at JioStar / Star — thank you for trusting me, pushing me, guiding me and helping me grow in ways I never imagined. To my colleagues, teammates and partners — thank you for the work, the warmth, the laughs, the hustle and the memories that will stay with me forever. I’ve always believed this: it’s not the brand that makes people — it’s the people who make the brand. And the people here have been nothing short of extraordinary. Closing this chapter with a full heart… and stepping into the next with excitement. Onwards and upwards.”
