He took it to LinkedIn to announce his move and wrote, “I had an interesting start to this journey. 2 weeks into the role (still trying to figure out the best cafeteria food), we had an unprecedented nationwide lockdown. Selling a new business model in an unsure environment that impacted each of us personally was extremely challenging, but thanks to the leadership and management support, Paytm Ads remained committed to the vision of its offerings for clients and users. In fact, we built our team even stronger with high-quality talent during the tough quarters of the pandemic.”
