Uchil is confident that her experience of 10 years equips her to face the challenges offered by the radio industry. She says, “Radio has to come up to the expectations of listeners and advertisers. The station has the task of offering quality content to listeners and, at the same time, attracting the right kind of advertisers by providing them with the right kind of target audience.”

The major challenge on hand is to break the age old habit of listeners tuning in to radio for just 20-25 minutes on an average per day. Big FM aims to make radio the all time entertainment option for listeners.

In her long association with the industry, Uchil has dabbled with languages such as Arabic, Hindi and Malayalam.

Prior to joining Big FM, Uchil was with The Times of India. She has also worked with Hum FM, UAE, as director, sales.
