He is not only a highly experienced business manager, but is also extremely passionate about radio's various facets - content, marketing and new distribution platforms like digital. Over the last decade, we have built Radio City into a market leader in the FM industry, as well as a great place to work. Thomas brings with him maturity and an outstanding ability to work with high quality teams which will only help take the culture of Radio City to greater heights", says Purohit, while confirming the news.

Commenting on his appointment, Thomas says, "I am excited to be a part of Radio City, which is India's leading radio brand and most preferred media employer, at this critical juncture as the organisation expands its footprint to become the leading radio network in the country. With Radio City, Radio Mantra and the recently acquired new licenses, the Group is strategically poised to become the leading radio player of the future."
