Entropia Group adds Pavan Kharbanda as partner

Entropia expands leadership line-up with Pavan Kharbanda as partner 

Entropia has added Pavan Kharbanda (pic) as its Partner, in its latest bid to expand its leadership line-up. Pavan will be responsible for leading commerce, Investor relations, expansion and Media Investments.
Pavan Kharbanda, the seasoned finance leader, served as the CFO of IPG Mediabrands in Asia from 2012 to 2016, alongside Prashant Kumar (the founder of Entropia), who led IPG Mediabrands in the region in the same period. Before IPG, he worked with Grey Global Group South East Asia, Group-M in Sydney, and Ernst & Young in San Jose and KL.
Pavan subsequently left IPG to join Havas Media as Head of Middle office in Kuala Lumpur, thus expanding beyond finance. Pavan also acted as advisor to many startups in the digital space in his own personal capacity.
“Pavan is one of his kind in our business – bold, brilliant, passionate and world-class. He understands both value creation and value capture equally well – just the type of leadership Entropia savors,” said Prashant Kumar, senior partner of Entropia.
“His joining the team means that each of our leaders have more time to focus on the product advantage, and business effectiveness for our clients,” added Prashant
“It’s a homecoming of sorts for me. In the last 18 months, Entropia has led the industry in so many ways and grown from a start-up to, well, a grown up. I look forward to bring my own piece of future to Entropia and help take it to yet another level,” said Pavan Kharbanda.

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTTDOOHinfluencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is keypartnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
