Ananta Das exits as head – brand PR for Prime Video India & APAC
Seasoned comms leader with nearly 20 years’ experience leaves after leading regional brand strategy.
MUMBAI: Ananta Das just hit the eject button on her Prime Video role because when you’ve scripted brand stories across continents, sometimes you need a scene change of your own. Ananta Das has stepped down from her position as head of brand PR for Prime Video India & APAC, marking a significant leadership transition in the streamer’s regional communications setup. Her replacement will be hired into a broader regional brand communications role reporting directly to APAC communications head Menon, indicating a restructuring of the hierarchy.
With nearly two decades in communications, Das brings a strong track record across major organisations. Before Prime Video, she handled brand and corporate mandates at Johnson & Johnson, Tata Global Beverages, and Colgate-Palmolive. At Prime Video she drove brand communications strategy across APAC markets, steering messaging for the platform’s expanding slate of originals, major content launches, and key industry initiatives.
The exit comes as Prime Video continues to scale its originals and regional presence in a competitive streaming landscape. Das’s departure opens the door for fresh leadership to shape the next phase of brand storytelling in one of the world’s fastest-growing entertainment markets.
For a region where content is king and attention is currency, transitions like this aren’t endings, they’re plot twists that keep the narrative moving forward.

Ember Cookware appoints Amit Singh as chief of supply chain
10-year veteran to lead operations as brand scales across D2C, quick commerce and retail.
MUMBAI: Ember just handed its supply chain the perfect seasoning because when your cookware is non-toxic and non-stick, the operations behind it better be fast and flawless. Ember Cookware has appointed Amit Singh as chief of supply chain and Services, bolstering its leadership team at a pivotal growth phase. Singh brings over a decade of experience in supply chain strategy, operations and large-scale network buildouts.
He began his career at Singapore-based retail giant Giant Hypermarket before joining Pharmeasy in 2015, where he played a foundational role in building and scaling its pan-India supply chain across B2B and B2C channels. At API Holdings, he later led supply chain operations for North India, managing end-to-end execution across complex, multi-city networks.
In his new role, Amit will oversee Ember’s complete supply chain and service ecosystem including sourcing, manufacturing coordination, logistics, last-mile delivery, post-purchase support and workforce development. His mandate focuses on building cost-efficient, resilient operations that shorten fulfilment times, strengthen inventory management and deliver a consistently high-quality consumer experience as the brand expands nationally.
Ember Cookware co-founder & CEO Siddharth Gadodia said, “Supply chain is where growth either holds or breaks. As we scale across channels and geographies, we need operations that are efficient, resilient, and built for speed, without ever compromising on the consumer experience. Amit has done this before, at real scale.”
Ember Cookware co-founder & CMO Himanshi Tandon added, “As we scale, supply chain efficiency becomes as important as product and brand. Amit’s mandate is to build the operational foundations that make our promise consistent at scale.”
Amit Singh commented, “Ember is building something genuinely different, a category-defining brand with a clear purpose and the ambition to match. I’m looking forward to building supply chain infrastructure that doesn’t just keep pace with growth, but enables it.”
The appointment forms part of Ember’s broader push to deepen leadership across key functions as it invests in its Innovation Lab, proprietary material technologies and operational backbone to support national expansion.
In a kitchenware world where non-stick promises are easy but delivery is hard, Ember isn’t just cooking up products, it’s cooking up an operation that keeps every promise sizzling from factory to fork.
