After more than five years with Affle, Nikhil Kumar has moved on from the company, concluding his tenure as Chief Growth and Marketing Officer for India & Emerging Markets.

Kumar confirmed his exit to e4m.

He also announced his departure on LinkedIn, reflecting on his journey with the adtech firm, where he played a key role in driving growth across India and international markets through Affle-owned mediasmart before taking on the broader leadership role.

Kumar is a highly valued and accomplished CXO leader. With nearly two decades of experience spanning FMCG, retail, F&B and adtech, Kumar has been closely associated with Affle's expansion and thought leadership initiatives in Connected TV, omnichannel advertising and AI-led marketing.

He was elevated to the Chief Growth and Marketing Officer role in April this year as part of the company's leadership restructuring and growth strategy.
