The new role expands Anklesaria’s responsibilities at Saregama, where he has been associated with the company’s technology and IT function.

In his new position, Anklesaria said he will be responsible for leading Saregama’s AI transformation agenda. His stated focus areas include applying artificial intelligence to improve efficiency, support innovation and create new opportunities across the organisation.
The move comes as Saregama continues to operate across music, television, films and other entertainment businesses while maintaining technology as an important part of its operations. The company’s annual report identifies technology and IT as a key management function and places Anklesaria within its senior management structure.
Anklesaria has also been involved in technology-related initiatives at Saregama.

He has also been recognised in industry forums, including being named among the “LeaderNext 2023 – Rising Leaders of the ICT Sector,” where he was listed as General Manager – Technology and IT at Saregama India.
With the move to Vice President – AI Transformation, Anklesaria will now focus specifically on advancing the organisation’s AI agenda alongside his broader technology leadership experience. His announcement did not disclose specific AI projects, investment figures or timelines associated with the new mandate.
The development marks a new phase in Anklesaria’s association with Saregama, bringing his experience in software engineering, technology strategy and digital initiatives into a role focused specifically on artificial intelligence transformation.
