Raj brings to Radio One his considerable experience in the field of media and entertainment, having worked in sales and marketing in companies such as Sony Entertainment Television, Start TV, Jadoo Works, Times OOH Media and Percept Picture Company. Raj is also thoroughly familiar with the Radio Industry in India, with his last stint prior to joining Radio One being at BIG FM, where he was heading their NTR business nationally and his initial experience of having been an RJ with AIR some years ago.
A few months ago, Radio One announced its decision to decentralize its management structure across various cities and make them truly independent. It also decided to empower station heads and city based programming heads to become the custodians of growth at the city level. Simultaneously, the company felt it is necessary to strengthen its national strategic programming intent with a common fabric of building audience and therefore value share in the market, and this responsibility would continue to be held by CEO Vineet Singh Hukmani and also recently appointed National Programming Head, Vehrnon Ibrahim.
Vineet Singh Hukmani, CEO, Radio One says, “This dual strategy has not only helped Radio One grow, but also attract new talent in all the cities.”
“Mumbai is a very important market for Radio One, specially since it is our flagship one. We are delighted to have Raj onboard, because he really understands the business and programming aspects well. We are looking forward to making the station even more exciting with him in the lead,” he adds.
Radio ONE has 5 stations operating in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Ahmedabad and will soon launch in Pune and Calcutta. Radio ONE is a joint venture between Midday Multimedia and BBC worldwide.
