Lodha said, “I’m incredibly proud to be joining Condé Nast, home to some of the world’s most iconic brands. India has particularly large growth potential, and I’m excited to take Condé Nast to new heights in this region. Condé Nast has already shaped itself into a technology-driven, digital-first content business, and as a tech entrepreneur, my role is to build on that strong foundation. From new opportunities in luxury e-commerce to digital channel expansion to other formats of offline user engagement, I am confident that we will be able to push the boundaries here in India.”
