The India Today Group has announced a slew of promotions recently. Dinesh Bhatia has been elevated as Group CEO of India Today Group.

In TV Today Network (TVTN), Rahul Shaw has been promoted to CEO, TV and Radio; while Salil Kumar has been made CEO, Digital. KR Arora has been elevated as COO, Distribution and International; while Yatendra Tyagi will be Chief Financial Officer, TVTN.

In Living Media India, Manoj Sharma has been promoted to CEO, Magazines.

These elevations were announced by Kalli Purie, Vice Chairperson of the India Today Group, in an internal communiqué.

Along with this, she also announced the commencement of the appraisal process and gave “a big shout out” to the efforts of the group’s salesforce.

Meanwhile, as a Diwali surprise, Purie announced the sanctioning of encashment of up to 15 days of accumulated leave for all employees. Those not eligible or those who don’t want leave encashment could choose a Diwali voucher. Purie added, “I feel that leave is not useful this year. For safety, we cannot travel or take holidays. So why not enjoy a shopping spree with additional cash in the security of our homes!”

She will also be hosting pop-up Diwali celebrations with small groups over the next several days.
