After a successful nine-year tenure with OML Entertainment including the last five years as CEO, Gunjan Arya is moving on from the company.

It has been an incredible journey at OML Entertainment, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such talented and passionate individuals. Together, we’ve pioneered new forms of entertainment, expanded globally, and driven cultural change through innovative content. While moving on is a bittersweet decision, I am confident in the bright future that lies ahead for OML Entertainment with Tusharr at the helm. Tusharr has been a driving force at OML Entertainment, and I couldn’t be more confident in his ability to lead the company as the next CEO. His deep understanding of the content and creator landscape, and our revenue ecosystems, combined with his strategic vision and acumen, make him the ideal leader to steer OML Entertainment during the company’s next phase of growth. ”
Under Gunjan’s leadership, OML Entertainment transformed globally, merging two successful businesses, expanding internationally to 20 countries, and launching Hypothesis. She drove growth by enhancing leadership in branded services, content studio, and influencer marketing, creating successful shows, new IPs, and top partnerships.
As CEO and former COO, Tusharr drives company growth, overseeing operations and leading successful initiatives in branded content, advertising, and entertainment. With diverse experience in new media, automotive, and FMCG sectors, he has worked at brands like Ducati, Royal Enfield, and Parle-Agro.

This confidence comes from our biggest asset, our incredible teams along with trusted partnerships with artists, clients and investors. We have always been at the forefront of creativity and cultural innovation. I’m looking forward to leading OML Entertainment as we push boundaries and build on the solid foundation laid by Gunjan. As we build what we’ve dreamed of, we will continue to ask ourselves – are we shaping culture? Are we bringing voices to life? Most importantly, are we creating and not just following? ”
