Mythik appoints ex-Walmart exec Kamalmeet Singh as CTO

Mythik, often dubbed the “Disney of the East” for its fast-growing entertainment and storytelling IP portfolio, has appointed Kamalmeet Singh as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The move aims at strengthening the company's digital backbone as it accelerates expansion across markets and platforms.

Singh, a technology leader with over two decades of experience, will oversee product engineering, platform modernisation and data-driven innovation at Mythik. His mandate includes building scalable systems that seamlessly integrate storytelling, gaming and immersive technologies to enhance user engagement and monetisation.

Prior to Mythik, Singh held senior leadership roles at Walmart, Microsoft and Infosys, where he drove large-scale digital transformation projects, cloud-native innovations and enterprise-grade technology architecture. His expertise spans AI, cloud engineering and consumer tech solutions — areas critical to Mythik’s goals of reimagining its IP beyond traditional entertainment formats.

“Mythik’s vision to reimagine storytelling at the intersection of culture, creativity and technology is deeply inspiring,” Singh said. “I look forward to scaling the platform and building capabilities that will bring immersive experiences to millions of users across Asia and beyond.”
The appointment comes amid intensifying competition in the global entertainment space, where companies are racing to build direct-to-consumer platforms powered by advanced analytics, personalisation and AI-led localisation. 

Alongside Singh, Mythik has expanded its leadership bench with two additional senior hires. Sachin Thapliyal has joined as Founding Member and Chief Product Officer. He was earlier Head of Product at JioSaavn, where he scaled the platform to over 100 million monthly active users (MAUs), and has also led product initiatives at Jio TV+, MX Player and PayU.

The company has also appointed Nitin Pakhare as Head of Product Design. Pakhare previously served as Design Director at Viacom18’s JioCinema, Head of Product Design at MX Player, and held key roles at Times Internet and Yahoo Labs.

Jason Kothari, Founder & CEO of Mythik, said, “Our product and technology leadership team represents decades of proven expertise across some of the most successful media-tech companies in India. Their experience in building platforms at scale and crafting engaging user experiences aligns perfectly with our mission to bring Eastern mythology, history and folktales to audiences worldwide in new and immersive ways.”

These leadership moves come on the heels of recent strategic developments at Mythik. In May 2025, the company raised USD 15 million in seed funding from investors that included Sakal Media Group, VC Grid, Visceral Capital and the family office of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. 

In July, it announced the formation of a Global Advisory Board featuring industry luminaries such as Alok Sama (SoftBank), Kun Gao (Crunchyroll) and Nick Van Dyk (Disney). More recently, in September, Mythik also appointed Preeti Vyas as President of Content Strategy, Partnerships & Consumer Products, aiming to deepen its content and IP-led expansion.
