Samarjit Singh has taken on the role of Chief Revenue Officer – Brand Solutions at Republic World, a digital arm of the Republic Media Network. The appointment, announced in September 2026, comes as the media organization looks to expand its commercial leadership and brand solutions capabilities. Singh brings nearly three decades of experience to the position, having worked across media, digital businesses, sales, and P&L management.
He joins the company from his role as Co-Founder & CEO of Ekaaya Network, where he developed an omni-channel distribution network for modern trade and e-commerce. His responsibilities at the firm included import-export operations and test marketing for new products. He also served as Co-Founder of AI in Action, adding exposure to emerging technologies to his commercial background.
Before his entrepreneurial ventures, Singh held leadership roles at major media organizations. He served as COO at Mad Influence and previously as COO of Storyboard18 at Network18 Media & Investments. These positions strengthened his experience across media, advertising, and digital platforms. His career in the industry began more than eight years as Chief Operating Officer at afaqs!, where he managed business strategy, publisher and media sales, events, and digital marketing.
Beyond his time in media, Singh has held executive positions in corporate learning and sales. He was Vice President – ELS & Alliances at Talentedge, leading a strategic business unit focused on P&L, key accounts, and new products.
