Sudarshan Banerjee, vice president, Mudra India, will take over from Chandan Nath as head of Ignite Mudra, the specialist agency from Mudra Communications, effective 1 April.
Nath, who is currently president of the agency, will continue in the role of an advisor at Ignite Mudra and move on to a strategic role in the Mudra group.
Banerjee, who joined Mudra in 2009 to look after its new businesses, has been the vice president of Mudra India for the last two years, leading the business for Mudra West.

"The time is right for us to push aggressively for exponential growth. Nath has built an excellent base that we can now build on," said Pratap Bose, chief executive officer, Ignite Mudra.
