MUMBAI: Vishal Singh, who recently resigned as National Marketing Head of Big FM, has joined global marketing firm Mindshare.

Vishal has joined Mindshare as a Principal Partner - Client Leadership."I have basically seen all the three phases of radio in India.

Vishal has been associated with radio since the phase I of FM auctions in the country. He started with Radio Mirchi and then went on to join My FM in the second phase, followed by Big FM.

"The new team I am working with is brilliant and very energetic. I am with a hyperactive group working around me," he says of his new assignment.
