The team - everyone extols its virtues but rarely do the parts that make up that successful whole get a mention. We at indiantelevision.com believe it's necessary to change all that and look beyond the "stars" of the media and entertainment business.

"Team Players" will profile emerging media professionals and personalities from the television, advertising, media and marketing sectors. It is the contribution of the mid-level management professionals that often goes unnoticed that we want to draw attention to. For they are key cogs in the wheels that run these huge media machines.

We will also offer you an opportunity to get up, close and personal with some of these rising stars in the television industry - both on screen as well as behind the scenes.

So watch out for these young men and women who we feel will make it big in their respective fields and who will at some point be hogging the limelight themselves.

The Team Players is indiantelevision.com's initiative to bring unknown but talented professionals from television, media, advertising and marketing to the forefront. It, however, requires your involvement to grow. Hence we would urge you - as a senior or a peer - to send us names/CVs/ biodatas of other professionals who can be featured in the Team Players.

The lady who is in charge of this section is the newest addition to indiantelevision.com - Hetal Adesara. Send an email to her at hetal@indiantelevision.com.

Help grow The Team Players and may the force be with you!
