| MUMBAI : Aggro. That's the mood that Zee
Telefilms chairman Subhash Chandra is displaying these days. |

Determined to get his pet television network
back on the top of the charts, the mediapreneur has over the past
six months rolled up his sleeves and got into the nitty gritty of
running Zee. His CEO Sandeep Goyal was jettisoned a couple of months
ago; his marketing head Partha Sinha around the same time as they
failed to deliver on commitments.
With no one at the helm as such, the non-resident Indian has decided
to make his fulltime involvement with the company official. The company
has applied to the Central government seeking approval to appoint
him as managing director of Zee Telefilms. The proposal was given
the go-ahead at a board meeting on 30 November.
Chandra has in the past few months set about in right earnest to get
the company's management back on track with specific professionals
being given specific tasks to handle.
Chandra is working closely with Zee president Apurva Purohit on programming
related issues. The marketplace has been buzzing with rumours about
the appointment of a programming head for the Hindi entertainment
channel. |
