Shagun Seda, the marketing director for Netflix (Films & Series), confirmed her resignation .

She started working for the streaming behemoth in November 2020, and she was responsible for  marketing all of Netflix India's talent, brands, and content.

She announced her departure and appreciated her colleagues at Netflix in a post on LinkedIn, "It's been two weeks since my last day at Netflix and I got home from a short vacation to this lovely little surprise. Thank you, team Netflix for this farewell memory and for all the memories of a lifetime. It’s been an enriching journey of learning, of wins, of being part of a collective stubborn determination to do our best against challenges. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead the efforts in making Netflix a more relatable brand for Indian consumers, and incredibly proud of the work and impact we created as the Film & Series Marketing team in snagging the streaming audience’s attention. I’ve always been a fan of Netflix Marketing’s unique voice and I am especially grateful to have played a part in refreshing the brand’s form of expression that often broke through the incessant noise of culture.

"As I look back at the last two years at Netflix, and look forward to what the future holds, I have too many people to thank. From those who supported me through trying times to the ones who kept me honest through the good times."

"Thank you Barry Smyth, Srivats TS and Monika Shergill for your vision, Siddharth Ravindran, Thomas Joseph, Satya Sourabh Mohanty, Tara Kapur, Arathi Jayaram, Divya Rao, Venkatesh Harinathan, Nikita Kandhari, Rekha Rane, Tatum Pereira, Senora Rebello for being simply amazing, the marketing leadership team and all my cross functional colleagues for their incredible partnership. And of course, thank you Swati Mohan, for being the OG."
