Newly-appointed Aqilliz Chief Business Officer Rajeev Dhal said, “When a service is free, that’s when you know you’re the product: The adage still stands today, reflective of the current status quo when it comes to user privacy across an increasingly digitised landscape. Yet, regulatory bodies are now looking to hold companies accountable and awareness is rising among users and brands alike. What we’re seeing is the perfect recipe for disruption across the AdTech and MarTech ecosystem and Aqilliz is here to address these challenges for the better. I couldn’t be happier to be joining the team at such a pivotal time in the industry.”
Prior to joining Aqilliz, Rajeev served as the Chief Revenue Officer at ZEE5, India’s largest entertainment over-the-top (OTT) media platform, where he was responsible for developing the company’s AdTech and data practice. During this time, Rajeev scaled ZEE5’s revenue by two times in the last year generating the highest revenue per viewer across the OTT category.

From 2018 to 2020, Rajeev also held the role of Chief Revenue Officer at SHAREit, the world’s largest content sharing app. Under his management, the SHAREit team built direct-to-business sales channels across India, Indonesia, Singapore, UAE, Egypt, South Africa, and Bangladesh.
