Sunil Lulla quits BCCL

MUMBAI: The BCCL corporate development president Sunil Lulla has bid adieu to the company.

 

“Today is my last day,” he confirmed the development to indiantelevision.com. However, his future plans are still not clear.

 

The former MD and CEO of Times Television Network (TTN), Lulla, who took over the charge of BCCL a couple of months back when MK Anand was brought in to lead the charge, just got back from his holiday in Norway.

 

This follows a series of high-profile exits from the company. Times Now, ET Now and Zoom CEO Avinash Kaul and TTN English Entertainment Channels CEO Ajay Trigunayat had moved on in April, this year.

 

What is notable is that these exits came after Anand took charge in January.

 

Lulla has spent close to nine years in TTN in various leadership roles. Prior to joining TTN, he was at Sony Entertainment Television as executive VP for three years.

 

In 2000, he had started indya.com, which was later acquired by News Corp/Star. He is also the man behind the launch of MTV and credited to bring it to number one position in India. Lulla was general manager and country head at MTV India from 1996 to 1999.

 

In his 25 plus years in the industry, Lulla has worked with media, entertainment, technology and television broadcast. His early years were spent in sales and soon thereafter with JWT in senior positions in India, China and Taiwan. He was member of the team which helped turn around Sa Re Ga Ma (HMV) in India.

 

Lulla is a member of many industry associations and helps drive policy and agenda setting themes for the advertising, media and entertainment industry.
