Global technology-specialist media agency DWA has officially announced this week that the India office is open for business. In addition, DWA has named media veteran Naveen Singh as Country Manager, to help manage the existing India accounts and drive explosive growth in the vibrant India market place.

“We’ve been deeply involved in the India market for the past five years, executing performance marketing campaigns for our international clients on the ground, and so am thrilled to be able to announce the formal opening of our first office there,” said DWA Asia Pacific Managing Director John Massey.

“We’re focused on organic growth, and our client base of both international and India-based companies has grown so fast over the last couple of financial years that we now need to invest in a permanent home; our Asia Pacific teams in Sydney and Singapore have done a fantastic job managing our India business to date, but it’s time to recognise the scale and potential of the market by growing our team on the ground,” added John.

Leading the drive in India will be media and tech stalwart Naveen Singh, known to all as NC, who brings his 16 years of B2B media sales experience to the role. With blue chip publishers in his resume, such as IDG, Cyber Media and 9.9 Mediaworx, NC is comfortable targeting all IT buyers, from CXO to consumers, and is very familiar with the MNC network that makes up DWA’s client base. “I am thrilled to be joining DWA at this crucial time of growth for the agency,” said NC. “The India market is vibrant, growing and there is a lot of potential here to really prove our pedigree as the media agency of choice for technology companies in the B2B and B2C space.”

The opening of the India office brings to eight the number of offices from which DWA operates, four of which are in Asia Pacific, namely: Sydney, Singapore, Delhi and Auckland. The India office will be located in Gurgaon and contact details will follow.
