“I am both humbled and honoured to take on the responsibilities of President of PAFI. We are going through an unprecedented time and PAFI is probably best placed to lead the practice in the area of public affairs and enable a very constructive partnership between government, civil society, media and industry. Given the current environment and the increasing need and realisation for public affairs as a central function in businesses, now is the time for us to look beyond the horizons and evolve from being an organisation to becoming an institution. I will strive to work towards providing new opportunities and platforms to our members to achieve the same,” said Amjad.

Amjad takes over the role of President, PAFI, from Raman Sidhu, upon completion of his successful term.

“PAFI has come a long way and while reflecting on my term and the year gone by, I am filled with pride, joy and also hope for an even brighter future for the organisation as I pass on the baton to able hands who have already been part of this journey and seen the organisation evolve,” said Sidhu, outgoing President of PAFI.

Subho Ray took over as the Vice-President of PAFI. Ray is the President of Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI). Ankhi Das, Public Policy Director, India, South and Central Asia, Facebook India Online Services Pvt. Ltd., is the Secretary of PAFI.
