Viacom18 Digital COO Gourav Rakshit resigns

Gourav Rakshit, the Chief Operating Officer of Viacom18 Digital, has resigned from his position after nearly five years with the company. His departure comes in the wake of the merger between Voot, a video streaming app owned by Viacom18 Media Pvt Ltd, and JioCinema. This transition requires Voot users to migrate to the JioCinema platform, where Viacom18's original content, including popular shows like Bigg Boss, is now being premiered.

Rakshit, who served as COO of Viacom Digital since May 2019, played a crucial role in the company. His extensive professional background includes leadership roles at Shaadi.com, Infosys Consulting, Planetasia, and Nestle.
