In order to strengthen its product and partnerships portfolios with greater market focus and customer orientation, the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) India has roped in Aaditya Pathak as Executive Vice-President, Partnerships and Growth and elevated Elbert D’silva to lead the Product Leadership and Excellence Team. In their new roles, both Pathak and D’silva will report to Romil Ramgarhia, COO of BARC India.

Pathak has had a career spanning over 19 years across various genres of television like Hindi GEC, movies, sports, niche and infotainment. In his last role as Senior Vice-President and National Sales Head, Sony Pictures Entertainment, he was responsible for pan-India advertising revenues of Sony Pix, Sony Pix HD and Sony Le Plex.
