MUMBAI: Zee's DTH service Dish TV, which will soon be demerged
as part of a major overhaul to streamline Subhash Chandra's broadcasting
business, is also seeing changes in its top management.
Sunil Gupta, who joined Dish last November as managing director
from Coke India where he was VP external affairs, South Asia, is
leaving what is currently India's only private DTH operator.
Chandra confirmed to Indiantelevision.com that Gupta, whose initial
responsibilities when he came aboard included increasing Dish TV's
subscriber base and penetration of the service across the country,
would soon be leaving the company.
Gupta was working along with Dish TV CEO Sunil Khanna in leading
New Era Entertainment Network Limited (NEENL), which manages the
affairs of Dish TV. Zee Telefilms holds 20 per cent stake in the
company.
Gupta has earlier worked with The Times of India as well
as had a stint at Jain TV as COO.
Dish TV is close to 1 million subscribers and is signing up around
3,000 customers a day. The average revenue per user (ARPU) is reportedly
running at Rs 200 per month with services subsidised through the provision
of a free annual subscription after a one-time charge of Rs 4,000.
