SINGAPORE and NEW DELHI — May 23, 2011 — GlobeCast announced today that it has appointed Vinay Sewal as the new managing director for GlobeCast India, based in New Delhi. In this new position, Sewal is responsible for strengthening the firm’s business on the Indian sub-continent, in accordance with GlobeCast’s commitment to expand its presence in this region.

GlobeCast, which has been present in India since 2000, sees growing market potential in the country thanks, among other things, to the increasing number of cricket events taking place.

Prior to this post, Sewal was Vice President, Operations & Marketing for GlobeCast Asia, based in Singapore, and oversaw all services provided by GlobeCast in Asia.

GlobeCast also announced that Sabil Salim joined the company as the newly appointed Vice President of Operations for Asia. Salim is based in Singapore and joins GlobeCast from ESPN Star Sports.

In his role, Salim reinforces GlobeCast’s technical progress and leads all aspects of the company’s operational and technological developments. He also manages GlobeCast’s relationship with vendors and service suppliers in the region to ensure efficient and effective technical operation.

Both positions report to Darby Sanchez, CEO of GlobeCast Asia and take effect immediately.
