Sinha’s elevation to the top brand role at BCCL in July 2024 followed a successful stint as President - Response. In his expanded mandate, he oversaw brand strategy and positioning across flagship properties like The Times of India, The Economic Times, Times Internet Media Services (TIMS) and various regional publications. Around the same time, BCCL appointed Surinder Chawla, former MD and CEO of Paytm Payments Bank, as President and Head of Response.
