Paritosh Joshi quits India TV as CEO

Joshi was brought on board as CEO in November, 2015.

Paritosh Joshi, who joined India TV on November 2, 2015, as chief executive officer, has quit the company.

"It was a pleasure working with brand India TV, and though we could not continue for a longer duration due to my personal obligations, I wish brand India TV many more landmarks to achieve," says Joshi in a press release.

Commenting on Joshi's departure, Ritu Dhawan, managing director, India TV, says in a press release, "(Paritosh) Joshi joined us in November, 2015, and while we hoped that this would be a long association, it has clearly proven taxing for him as he continues to commute between two metros. He has now chosen to return to his family in Mumbai. It was a pleasure having him on board, and we wish him well in his future endeavours."

Joshi, who has been involved with a number of industry initiatives, including BARC India, was associated as a strategist with India TV from 2012, and was then brought on board as chief executive officer in November last year. Prior to India TV, he was CEO, Star CJ Network.
