Mythik, a tech-first global entertainment company, has appointed Sidharth Kedia as Chief Operating Officer, where he will lead operations and strategic finance. He is an experienced media, entertainment and gaming business leader, who was Head of Jio Games and Senior Vice President at Jio Platforms, Chief Strategy Officer of Viacom 18 and CEO of Nodwin.
His prior experiences also include Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s office, where he led the Project Management Office for Jio’s telecom launch and was also responsible for integrating Network18 into RIL; Co-Founder and Partner at private equity firm Ambit Pragma Ventures.
Kedia began his career at General Electric, where he became a certified Six Sigma Black Belt in operational excellence, is a Chartered Accountant, and also holds an MBA from the Stern School of Business at New York University.
Mythik’s Founder & CEO, Jason Kothari, said about the appointment, “Sid’s experience in media, entertainment and gaming is a rare combination of variety and depth across all key aspects of creating an innovative business in the space. Sid is also a disruptive strategic thinker which makes him a particularly suitable leader for helping build Mythik, where we are pushing the boundaries of established business models and technology to bring Eastern mythology to global audiences for the first-time.”
Mythik’s COO, Sidharth Kedia, added, “Jason’s ambitious vision for Mythik aligns with how I’ve always imagined our own mythological universe’s potential from both a creative and business standpoint. Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by these stories my grandparents told me and as a huge Marvel fan, I’ve often wondered why our superheroes never got the global spotlight they deserve. We plan to change that at Mythik.”
