MUMBAI: Digital sales has been his playground for most of his career. And now Sumit Chauhan has jumped on board the Runn Media Labs train as sales director. The Manish Sinha-founded firm recently got into bed with South  African media conglomerate emedia and got an injection of funding from it.

Runn Media Labs is setting up a Fast media platform Runn TV, targeting Indian viewers with thematic and personalised channels.

Sumit has about 15 years’  experience behind him with stints at PayU Payments, Times Internet, Fork Media Network18 Media, Bliss, and finally with HT Media Labs as the regional lead – north and east where he was driving sales for the aggregation platform OTT Play and Slurp.com.

“This is an incredible opportunity to spearhead the hashtag#Digital Ad-Sales business for Runn Media Labs and to ensure steady growth and coverage,” said Smit on Linkedin while announcing his appointment.
