Adobe has appointed Anindita Das Veluri as head of marketing for its India market. Veluri will be reporting to Adobe Asia Pacific (APAC) marketing vice president Duncan Egan. She replaces Sunder Madakshira, who left the company earlier this year to join Rezolve as CEO.

She was also involved in incubating the “marketing-as-a-service” model for IBM Services and setting up the digital marketing services practice for solution selling across industries.
