About Taruneet Khandpur
I’m a sales leader with 15+ years of experience across digital media, enterprise account management, and high-growth tech. After an incredible journey at LinkedIn, I am now with The Trade Desk as Director of Business Development, where I help brands and agencies unlock the full potential of programmatic advertising on the open internet.At The Trade Desk, I work closely with marketers to drive measurable business outcomes through data-driven media activation, advanced decisioning, and omnichannel strategy. My focus is on helping advertisers move beyond walled gardens, build durable audience strategies, and deliver transparent, high-quality reach at scale. I partner with senior stakeholders across categories to shape their long-term programmatic maturity.Previously, as a Principal Account Director at LinkedIn, I helped some of India’s largest enterprise brands achieve full-funnel marketing outcomes - leading performance, brand, and thought-leadership campaigns that delivered strong ROI. My role involved cross-functional collaboration, product consulting, and harnessing LinkedIn’s rich audience insights to drive strategic growth for clients.Before LinkedIn, I led revenue growth for the BFSI & Real Estate verticals at JioSaavn, onboarding marquee brands such as SBI, LIC Housing Finance, HDFC Bank, HDFC Life, ICICI Mutual Fund, and AMFI, contributing significantly to platform revenue. Prior to that, at Radio Mirchi, I managed key accounts across Media, FMCG, BFSI, and Travel & Tourism, earning industry recognition and the Flamethrower Award for exceptional revenue performance.I’m passionate about the future of advertising, data, and technology with a deep interest in e-mobility, fintech, edtech, and the broader open-internet ecosystem. Outside work, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, and following developments across finance, education, and the auto industry.Always open to meaningful conversations - feel free to connect with a note!
