My
six years at Zee have been a period of learning. Being a pioneer
in the Hindi TV entertainment business in the country, we
made our own rules and broke them. I was never faced with
a situation where I was told not to try something new. So
in that way, it was an extremely encouraging time that I spent
at Zee.
I
interacted more with Subhash Chandra when I was made head
of sales for the entire network. Contrary to 'rumours' at
that time of him being an interfering boss, I found that he
is a very hands on person and likes to keep track of what
is going on in his company. He believed in letting people
do their things and was present as a guiding force.
Another
commendable thing about Chandra is the fact that he has a
very shrewd idea of what might work and what might not. Despite
this instinct, he never backed out of a calculated risk. He
is a visionary and a part of this is his ability to take chances
and face the consequences. In case of a failure, he took it
in his stride.
