team

Indigo Consulting was founded in the year 2000 by a group of qualified business professionals having prior experience in leadership positions with leading multinational corporations. Today, Indigo Consulting comprises a professional team of business managers, graphic and interface designers, technical architects and software engineers who share belief in the medium, and its potential to change the way we live and work.

Vikas Tandon,
Managing Director
The company is led by founder-director Vikas Tandon. Vikas completed his post-graduation in Business Management from Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad, and has over 17 years' experience in Sales, Marketing & Interactive Media. Prior to starting Indigo Consulting, he set-up and led Mudra Interactive, Mudra Communications' Interactive and New Media division.

He has also been a Jury Member for the Digital Creative Abbys held in 2009 and 2010 at Goafest - India's biggest and most prestigious advertising and marketing festival.

A music buff, Vikas counts playing guitar, traveling/outdoor activities, and gadgets among his passions. He also runs Cashcow, India's first blog on Financial Services marketing.

Sunil Kher,
Director – Digital Strategy & Business Development
With over eleven years of experience in companies like Mid-day Infomedia, Times of India, Sify Technologies and Webaroo, Sunil Kher is to the digital medium what Anupam Kher is to Bollywood – a veteran who has brilliantly played every role.

His expertise as a client, an agency and a publisher, brings to the table a wholesome understanding of what our clients need. A Sales and Marketing guy to the core, Sunil heads business development and digital strategies at Indigo.

If there is one thing that matches the high standards he sets for himself at work, it’s the high scores he sets when he’s gaming. Put your PS3/PSP/Wii/Xbox at stake when you play against him and we promise you’ll go home empty handed. But not before the photographer in him captures your whining smile.

Navin Balakrishnan,
Creative Director
While young Clark Kent started out as a journalist, in real life he started out as a wannabe copywriter. He switched to design the first opportunity he got and has been pursuing it for over a decade now. But that didn't stop him from flying! With some core print design experience he moved to online design, where he fell in love with the medium. The high point in his career - winning the Silver Abby in 2002 for the best website!

Now a matured Navin Balakrishnan (a.k.a. Clark Kent) is our Creative Director at Indigo Consulting! He is also a BIG horror movie buff. He reads classic adventure novels, wildlife stories, Alistair Maclean, Jeffery Archer etc. And finally, the reason we call him Clark Kent is because he is a big fan of strength / combat related sports and is a state-level Silver Medal winner in Judo! Great guy, creatively inclined and inspiring in stature.move out of the way, puny PMs!!

Dean Gonsalves,
Associate Creative Director
He's the man on the bike (Bullet 350.no less!) and he's with a plan to head out of the city and he's one helluva angler!

From the ocean to the hills, our man Dean loves spending time outdoors. And when he's not outdoors, he's usually working on super-graphics, brand imagery and directing the team to think in radically new directions. He has expertise of over 10 years in the field of graphic design, publishing, interactive media, motion graphics and web technologies. His wide range of creative experience sees him using his skillset as Associate Creative Director in Indigo Consulting.

Jyoti Kotecha,
Vice President & Director - Operations & Delivery.
Juggling between leadership and management of the technology and delivery team, and managing client relationships, Jyoti ably oversees the timely and to-spec delivery of all of Indigo Consulting's web development projects. A PMI Certified Professional, Jyoti held management positions at Geodesic Information Technology and IL&FS, prior to joining Indigo Consulting.

An MBA from Guru Nanak Institute of Management, Jyoti is our resident expert on the Bollywood and is the hesitant reviewer of the latest flicks on Mood Indigo.

Priti Jhavar,
Vice President & Director - Client Services.
Another veteran of the online industry in India, Priti started her career with the highly successful Online Solutions (eventually sold to Intiqua) in the late nineties. At Indigo Consulting, Priti oversees client services and project management from strategy to execution.

Over the years at Indigo Consulting, Priti has shaped many of the company's success stories and much of its culture. Don't let her diminutive size fool you - she is a strong-willed woman, a complete live-wire, and her kick on the shin packs quite a punch (ask anyone at Team Indigo). And if you hear the words "One Up, One Down", run a mile. Don't ask why, just run!

Vikas Sah,
Vice President - Technology & SEO
Vikas Sah made it out of IIT, New Delhi with a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering. Next on his to-do list was a Master’s in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Buffalo, State of New York. Satisfied with his conquests in the field of education, he dived into the world of technology and online marketing. Not one to swim slow, Vikas worked with several web technology start-ups and was even a founding member of some of them. Before Indigo Consulting scooped him out, he was zapping the competition as CEO of Zitz Solutions and pushing tech on everyone as the CTO of Empowered Media. Did you think he was really done with picking up professional qualifications? Nope, he also grabbed the PMP (Project Management Professional) credential offered by the Project Management Institute.

In case you’re getting the impression Vikas was an ‘all work, no play’ dull boy, you should know his soft-spoken nature hides a terrible secret. The man’s a gadget freak with a truly frightening love for the horror and thriller genres, so you don’t want to know what’s going on in that head...

Satwick Saxena,
Head of Mobile Marketing
Satwick is a master in the art of mobile marketing. Give him a brand and he will tell you 10 ways to market it on a mobile phone.

Having worked with two global leaders – Infosys & Dentsu – Satwick can combine the best of technology with media. Satwick’s experiences from both the industries, along with his understanding of the mobile medium, help’s Indigo create a new generation of mobile marketing solutions.

If QR Codes, S60, Mobile Augmented Reality sound gibberish to you, then a sermon from him is due! And when he isn’t busy exploring the future of mobile marketing, Satwick, an urban history buff, can be found exploring the pasts of cities the world over, or buried into a book with a cup of tea that has no milk and no sugar. Yes, we don’t see the point either!
