The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has named Kunal Shah, Co-founder & CEO, FreeCharge, as the new Chairman of IAMAI. The move was necessitated following Nishant Rao's move to join Freshdesk as global COO, from Linkedin.

The association has also announced Vishwas Patel, CEO, Avenues India, as the new treasurer. Vinodh Bhat, Co-founder, President & Chief Strategy Officer at Saavn, remains IAMAI Vice-Chairman.

Shah co-founded FreeCharge in August 2010 with the aim to build a business that turned recharges into rewarding experiences for its consumers. In April 2015, FreeCharge was acquired by Snapdeal. Post acquisition, FreeCharge continues to be an independent entity under Shah's leadership. While his current mission is to get every single Indian to experience a single transaction via FreeCharge, in his spare time he reads a lot of books on behavioural economics and science, besides being an avid Texas Hold 'Em poker player.

Bhat is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded Saavn which is a revolutionary streaming music service, reinventing how people listen to and share music in India and around the world. With a catalog in the millions (and growing by the day), the company's motto is simple – play what you want, when you want.

As Founder-CEO of Avenues India, Patel has guided the company to become South Asia's No. 1 eCommerce service provider. The company's first initiative, CCAvenue, was launched in September 2001 and it today provides payment gateway services to thousands of eMerchants across the world.
