Govind Shahi to step down at IndiaCast after 12 years
Govind Shahi will be stepping down from his role as International Business Head of IndiaCast after an impressive 12 years, BizAsiaLive.com can reveal.
Known for his leadership in steering Viacom18’s international channels to major growth, Govind is likely to explore new opportunities. While there was strong speculation about him taking the reins of international operations at the newly merged JioStar (Reliance-Disney), it seems that he could be charting a different course.
With over three decades of experience in media, including top roles at ZEE and Colors, as well as various entrepreneurial ventures, Govind has made a mark in global broadcasting. He’s credited with launching key channels and events, such as ZEE Russia, ZEE Carnival, ZEE Cine Awards, Colors Gujarati, and Colors Rishtey along with digital products like Voot, while spearheading a range of successful global initiatives.
Govind will be leaving Colors at a time when the network is at its peak, dominating several international markets. Under his leadership, Colors became the only Indian broadcaster with a unified FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television) presence internationally —an achievement largely driven by his strategic vision and ability to adapt quickly to market needs.
