Suresh Selvaraj bids adieu to Asianet!

Suresh Selvaraj, CEO & Executive Director of Asianet News Network has decided to move on. He was heading Suvarna News 24x7, Kannada News Channel, Asianet News, Malayalam News Channel and Kannada Prabha, Kannada daily.  He joined ANN during last Feb after a stint of 13 years at Outlook Group as its President.

Selvaraj stated in a communication, “This is the shortest tenure in my entire career spanning 33 years in media. Regional News Channels are no doubt exciting as the challenges are of different kind. It was interesting to work on a fledgling channel like Suvarna News 24x7 and been part of many changes that were put in place- be it content mix, look & feel, setting up new studios and infrastructure, changing the profile of advertisers, topped with an increase of  27% in revenues. I take this opportunity to thank all my friends - advertisers and agencies who supported us with an impressive volume of prestigious brands and the team deserves the credit for doing so. Yes, there are miles to go but I felt that I deserved a break. I was longing for it after my 13-year tenure at Outlook Group but had hastened joining ANN."

Having born in media I am sure to last only in media. As the parlance goes , “will be shortly back after leisure break”.
