Vinay Anand, who co-founded Aer Media in 2016, has left to pursue other interests.

Anand co-founded the influencer marketing and talent management company when influencer marketing was still an emerging category in India. 

The company has since expanded its work across the creator economy and received industry recognition for its work.

The company has not disclosed details of Anand’s next move or whether a successor will be appointed to his role.
 
Atin Sharma, founder and CEO, Aer Media, said, “Vinay has been part of building this company over the last decade, and we thank him for the partnership and everything it created. We wish him the best for his future endeavours.”
 
Pooja Sharma, co-founder, Aer Media, added, “We thank Vinay for ten years of building together. The creator economy keeps opening up new ground, and we're genuinely excited about what we get to build in the years ahead."

Anand said, "It has been a pleasure building Aer Media over the last ten years, with both Atin and Pooja and what we have achieved. I am also thankful to the great team, wonderful creators and brands for a beautiful decade, and I wish them all the very best for what's ahead."

In a career spanning over 15 years, he has also worked with YourStory Media and Entrepreneur Media, among others.
