Toshiba India has appointed Sanjay Warke as its country head for its digital and services (DS) division. Warke was earlier leading operations for Vodafone in Eastern circle in India. Toshiba India, a 100 per cent subsidiary of Toshiba Corporation, Japan, said in a statement that from this year, Warke would be developing, driving and implementing business strategies and solutions for its DS division. Warke would be looking after the company’s television and laptop businesses, among other verticals.
In a statement, Kenji Urai, Managing Director, Toshiba, said, “India is a key market for Toshiba and Sanjay’s experience spanning over two decades in India, enables him to understand the varied demographics and complex consumer behaviour.” Warke is a post-graduate in business management from IIM Bangalore, and will be based in New Delhi and operate out of Toshiba India’s head office in Gurgaon. He succeeds Tengguo Wu, who is moving from India to Singapore to take on a significant role in the Group’s Singapore operations. Warke has worked with Asian Paints, Cadbury India and Pepsico India in senior roles.
