NEW DELHI: China-based global smart device brand Oppo has announced the appointment of Damyant Singh Khanoria as its new CMO for India operations. In his new role, Khanoria will be spearheading the marketing operations and will be reporting to Oppo India president Elvis Zhou.

Khanoria comes to Oppo from Apple India where he was the marketing communication lead. He is an industry veteran with over 20 years of experience and has worked across marketing portfolios. His experience in building and optimising go-to-market strategy for technology brands will be instrumental for the brand.

Zhou said, “I am confident that his experience of connecting customer desires with business needs will help propel OPPO India to greater heights during its next phase of growth. On behalf of our entire team, I extend a warm welcome to Damyant.”
