In 2011, he took on the responsibility for Sony MAX, followed by Sony SAB and Sony PAL in 2017, and Sony Entertainment Television in 2023. Under his guidance, Sony SAB was successfully repositioned as a premium entertainment brand, achieving significant growth through a revitalised programming line-up and content strategy.

His vision and leadership have been pivotal in transforming our entertainment channels into market leaders. He has an innate ability to understand the pulse of the audience and create content that resonates deeply with viewers.

His departure marks the end of an era for us, but we are excited about the new ventures he will undertake."

As I move on to explore new entrepreneurial ventures, I carry with me the invaluable experiences and relationships built over the years."
