In his new role, Datttaguru will oversee all financial planning, transaction processing, reporting systems, and new business analysts at the studio. As the leader of the company’s production and corporate finance departments, Dattaguru will be able to implement his own approach to corporate financial process engineering and long-term strategic planning in the media industry.
