"Having a buy-in from Investors like Oak, Asia Pacific Capital and ICICI brings validation to our business strategy, as we embark on our next phase of growth and expansion," said Suresh Reddy, Chairman and CEO of Ybrant Digital.
"Suresh and his team have demonstrated unique ability to identify, acquire and integrate, relevant businesses across the world. We are confident that Ybrant will emerge as the digital marketing leader of the next generation with emphasis on global growth and new media," said Roy Rodrigues, advisor to Oak Investment Partners.
