Uday Vijayan After working his magic with products from companies like Hindustan Unilever, Volvo, Suzuki, and Prestige and building their brands, Uday Vijayan made a flip change in his career by joining iGate as the Head of Global Marketing. Prior to iGate, Vijayan had stints with ad houses like JWT, Contract, and MAA Bozell. He was also the one who pioneered the concept of ‘experiential marketing’ in India and worked closely with technology brands like Intel, Cisco, and IBM.

Joining an IT corporate is an adventure after a career of 20 years plus in the advertisement world. But Vijayan, with his skills in entrepreneurship, profit center management, and strategic marketing thinking, hopes to create a brand for iGate too. He believes that simple thoughts, understanding customer needs, and then execution of those thoughts have helped him attain all the success he has to his credit today. He also advises the same to those who want to follow his footsteps. A down to earth, humble, and people loving person, Vijayan has a great passion for music, especially Jazz and Blues and loves traveling in and outside the country.
