“The Emmy Award nomination was not bad either! During this time, I have had the good fortune of working with some incredible colleagues across the organization and in particular with an extremely talented and passionate content team. I wish them the very best. At the same time, I am extremely excited about the next opportunity that has come my way and eagerly looking forward to sharing details in due course,” Nikhil added.
