Nabeel A. Khan, a distinguished communications leader and pioneer in media innovation, has stepped down from his role as Deputy Vice President and Head of PR, Corporate Communications, and Public Affairs at Renault India. Multiple sources confirm that Khan is now set to lead a groundbreaking media and deep‑tech communications platform, marking a bold new chapter in his career.
A Pioneer in Media and Communication
Khan’s professional journey is deeply rooted in India’s most influential media houses, including the Times of India Group and Network18, where he sharpened his editorial instincts and established himself as a trusted voice in business journalism.
His most defining contribution came as Founding Editor of The Economic Times Verticals, where he spearheaded a pioneering initiative to create deep, vertical‑specific media and knowledge platforms targeting senior leadership across industries.
These platforms became strategic ecosystems enabling high‑level exchange of ideas, insights, and policy dialogue. Under his leadership, The Economic Times Verticals evolved into a benchmark for content‑led industry innovation.
Khan developed and scaled industry‑focused forums, events, and proprietary platforms, including India’s first EV Conclave and the Auto Retail Ranking Report. His work achieved global recognition, positioning these platforms as authoritative voices and establishing him as an architect of new business media in India.
Corporate Leadership and Global Perspective
Beyond media, Khan’s career reflects significant corporate leadership. He served two impactful stints at Renault India, where he led high‑visibility launches, reputation campaigns, and public affairs initiatives that strengthened the company’s presence in the automotive sector. Earlier, as Country Head for Motherson Group in Saudi Arabia, he demonstrated operational and international leadership managing complex government‑level engagements — experience that broadened his global perspective and sharpened his ability to scale initiatives across borders.
What sets Khan apart is his innovative approach to building projects that consistently transcend limitations. Whether in media or corporate communications, he has shown a relentless drive to challenge conventional formats and create platforms that redefine how industries engage with knowledge and dialogue. His ability to blend editorial rigor with strategic foresight has allowed him to build initiatives that are not only impactful but also enduring, setting benchmarks for others to follow.
