Press Release: Photolibrary Group Appoints Deepak Malhotra to Lead Mumbai Office
Sydney – April 28, 2006: Photolibrary Group Ltd is pleased to announce the latest in their expansion into the Asian region with the opening of an office in Mumbai, India. The office will be headed up by the newly appointed, Deepak Malhotra. Malhotra brings experience to the role as past Director, Business Development for Visage Images, for whom he set up operations in India in 2005.
Malhotra says of his new role “Photolibrary has evolved into a major player in the SAARC Region and it is an exciting challenge for me to assist in expanding their operations further. The Indian market is growing rapidly and is driving trends in some areas. Photolibrary wants to be there for these trend introductions and support the creative community through fast internet access, a local currency website and the eventual development of local content.
Photolibrary Group CEO, Glenn Parker says of the expansion “Photolibrary has consistently demonstrated their strength in the Asian market and have seen rapid growth since launching in the region 3 years ago. India has proven a strong market for us, via our Singapore office, and was a logical choice for opening a direct sales office to support our local Indian customers. This is an exciting step for Photolibrary, solidifying our presence in the region and allowing us to service a highly creative market with an ever-expanding content offering. “
The new Indian website - providing customers with local pricing in Indian Rupees - will be launched on 1 May 2006. Initially, Photolibrary will have offices in Mumbai, with plans for further expansion within India over the next six months.
