Senthil quits; Rahul Joshi takes over at Network 18

The former Economic Times editorial director takes charge as CEO-News and group editor-in-chief; Senthil Chengalvarayan, editor-in-chief, Business Newsroom, has decided to move on.

Network18 continues to be in the news for its top management changes. Rahul Joshi has been appointed as CEO-News (a newly created position) and as group editor-in-chief. He was formerly Economic Times' editorial director. The development comes at the same time as AP Parigi's move out of the group CEO role into an advisory one. It was reported last week that Parigi would now be advisor to Adil Zainulbhai, chairman, Network18.

There are also reports that Senthil Chengalvarayan, editor-in-chief, Business Newsroom, has decided to move on after a 21-year stint. He has been part of the group since its formative years.

An internal mail reportedly had Zainulbhai bidding farewell to Chengalvarayan, saying: "This is to share that Senthil Chengalvarayan has decided to move on. Senthil, who I consider as a valued colleague and a friend, had a raft of contributions over the last 21 years. They hardly need reiteration. This is a moment to say 'a big thank you' and to join together in wishing Senthil the very best in what he undertakes hereon."
