Following the takeover of NDTV by the Adani group, there has been a series of resignations from the news channel. Last November, Prannoy and Radhika Roy, directors of the board of NDTV promoter RRPRH, stepped down. Shortly after, renowned journalist Ravish Kumar also resigned from the channel.
In early January, a wave of resignations continued as Suparna Singh, the group president of NDTV, announced her departure. This was followed by the resignations of Arijit Chatterjee, the chief strategy officer, and Kawaljit Singh Bedi, the chief technology and product officer. Sreenivasan Jain, a prominent figure at NDTV, announced the end of his three-decade-long journey with the channel. Nidhi Razdan, known for her work at NDTV, also took to Twitter to announce her resignation a few days later.
