Pallavi Singh - Manager, Sales

As someone who has been with my current company for six years, leaving was not an easy decision for me. The team and culture at my current company have always been close to my heart, and I was skeptical about finding the same kind of people and culture in my next job. However, during the interview process with mediasmart, I quickly realized that this could be the perfect fit for me.

It all started with a friendly conversation with a friend who mentioned that there was an opening at mediasmart. My friend, knowing my career aspirations and the type of company I was looking for, connected me with the hiring manager. Within a matter of hours, I had an interview scheduled for that same evening.

From the moment I stepped into the interview, I knew that I wanted to join an Ad tech firm, and mediasmart seemed like the ideal opportunity to enhance my profile. Throughout the interview process, I had a strong feeling that mediasmart could be the next company for me. The company's values, mission, and culture they fostered aligned perfectly with what I was seeking in my career.

One of the key reasons the company stood out to me was its focus on personal and professional growth. It was evident during the interview that mediasmart values its employees' development and provides ample opportunities for them to thrive. This was a major factor in making my decision to join mediasmart, as I saw it as an environment where I could continue to grow both personally and professionally.

Additionally, the team members I interacted with during the interview process were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. It was clear that mediasmart was built on a foundation of motivated individuals who were eager to make a difference in the industry. This resonated with me deeply, as I had always thrived in a collaborative and driven team environment.

Ultimately, the decision to join mediasmart was made easy by the fact that it offered everything I was searching for in my next career move. The company's culture, values, and commitment to growth aligned perfectly with my own aspirations. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to mediasmart's success and continue my journey in the Ad tech industry with a company that I believe will support and challenge me in the best ways possible.

Mehak Arora - Manager, Sales 

My journey in the field of media and advertising began eight years ago when I first stepped into the vibrant world of advertising. Fresh out of college, armed with a passion for communication and a curiosity to explore the realms of marketing, I embarked on a path that would shape my career.

With each passing year, I dedicated myself to learning and growing in the field. I immersed myself in industry knowledge, keeping up with the latest trends and technologies shaping the media landscape. It was during this quest for growth and opportunity that I discovered mediasmart—an organization renowned for its groundbreaking work in AdTech. I am excited about joining mediasmart and reflect on the belief that good things come to those who patiently wait and work diligently for them.

I want to express my gratitude to the entire Affle and mediasmart team for recognizing my potential and offering me this opportunity. I am confident that working alongside such talented professionals will foster both personal and professional growth. I am eager to learn from each of you, collaborate on exciting projects, and contribute to mediasmart's mission of delivering outstanding advertising solutions.

Ganesh Parthiban - Manager, Sales Strategy & Brand Solutions

From the first call I ever received to the day when I was received in person, it was a seamless experience crafted by the mediasmart India leadership team. I was impressed by the level of organization and planning within the team, which made it easy for me to join a relatively new field. That’s because I came on board with prior experience in advertising, but AdTech was an entirely new animal to me. The team was extremely understanding and supportive, and not for a moment did they make me feel as if I was risking it too much.

Once I was inside the system, I realized that the training modules were created in a way that anyone and everyone can understand it without feeling intimidated by the scale and scope. The induction sessions were as informative as they were friendly, and I immediately felt at home - more like working from home. In a team with an entrepreneurial culture and spirit, I have been working on projects where I am allowed to take a flight, with the right amount of fuel and parachutes in place.

Working on building the future of programmatic with the mediasmart platform might be new to me, but it feels like a perfect fit. Of course, there are adjustments in fitting in, but they are only adding to my growth. With an incredibly great team to work with and the right resources at my disposal, I can only look onward and upwards for the organization as well as for my professional endeavors.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working on some awesome projects. But joining medismart feels like leveling up in the game of life, and I'm here to tell you that I'm ready to take on any challenge that comes my way!

What excites me most about mediasmart is its commitment to excellence. I truly believe in fostering a positive and collaborative work environment, where creativity can flourish, and innovative ideas can bloom. And from what I've seen so far, this company is a perfect fit for my aspirations.

Sarthak Goswamy - Assistant Manager, Sales Strategy & Brand Solutions

I was on the lookout for an exciting opportunity to venture into after being affected by one of the recent layoffs. My search for such an opportunity ended when I was contacted by the HR department of mediasmart. It seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to learn from a team from an industry-leading organization. My interviews were unique as they wanted to know me on a personal level before understanding my professional experience and skills. This ensured that getting the job would not only benefit greatly on the professional front but also established by cultural fit with the team.

The hinder less experience was extended even after I was boarded by a very warm & welcoming team of experienced professionals. From regular feedback to virtual meet-ups, every measure was taken to ensure that I feel comfortable and welcomed to the organization and its culture. They say you’re only as good as the team. But here at mediasmart, not just my boss but also my co-workers strive to create an environment for you to outdo yourself every day. Although multiple teams work from multiple markets and time zones, everyone remains approachable and patient to clear all the doubts I might have. I feel like I have become a part of an organization that would not only make me a more skillful working professional but also a better individual that is calm and a better team player.

Dipali Rana - Executive, Client Services

Being a fresher just out of college, you feel nervous about what the world has to offer and in turn what you can offer the world. I succinctly remember my interviews for mediasmart, sitting in my PG, and having a most interesting ‘conversation’ with my soon-to-be colleagues. The smooth and ingenious recruitment process facilitated a genuine understanding between the culture and aims of both parties made me quite sure of choosing mediasmart as the right stepping stone for me. My first month in the ethos of mediasmart has been full all new learnings and quite a bit of unlearning as well - the dynamic Ad Tech industry and the continued growth of programmatic advertising in it, has been a continued enthralling learning experience; And the constant support provided by my manager(s) and buddy into welcoming me has made the induction process very smooth for me. The culture at mediasmart has been quite vibrant and fun, which impels strong professional relationships with mutual understanding and respect. I’m looking forward to many more fruitful months to come here!
