NEW DELHI: Infectious Advertising has roped in Nitin Sharma as its vice president - business.

At Infectious, Sharma will be responsible for leading important businesses for the agency. He will work closely with founding partner Nisha Singhania to not only consolidate existing businesses but also look at organic plus new business growth, the agency said in a press statement.
