We have worked together in the past when WATConsult joined dentsu, and I have witnessed his amazing zeal and drive first-hand as a leader always seeking to build the future of advertising by inspiring his team. We are extremely excited to have him on board as our co-founder and chairman. Together, we intend to create the platform-driven future of the advertising industry as we take this step.”

With one of the finest technology teams, and a committed founder with experience and drive like Rajiv, RD&X Network has the potential to become the first India-Out, platform-based global advertising and marketing startup. The opportunity to mentor and guide this process attracted me to join the RD&X Network. It is also my first entrepreneurial venture as a co-founder and I am delighted to partner with Rajiv.”
