Avinash Buggi
The exciting combination of internet, sports, advertising, and brand management on a global scale for a reputed organisation is what attracted me to Cricinfo. I work in the Sales Department and am responsible for ad trafficking, sales support, and implementation of online campaigns for clients globally. The independence to plan and execute work based on clearly defined expectations, the endless learning, and the excitement of a constantly evolving medium is what I love about my work. What I have learnt here is that commitment and joy aren't always part of the job right away, but it's important what one makes of the job and how much one loves it. I love reading articles and interviews, exploring statistics, and browsing through Cricinfo's exciting photo database. My favourite cricketer? Sachin Tendulkar, who else.
