Sharda announced the appointment through a social media post, confirming that she will lead music strategy for Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios in India.

With extensive experience in artist services, music marketing, digital strategy, and partnerships, Sharda has built a strong reputation for working with artists and creators while helping scale independent music businesses.
Her transition also reflects the growing convergence between the music and streaming industries, with entertainment platforms increasingly investing in dedicated music leadership to strengthen their original content offerings.
