The media and academic fraternity are mourning the great loss of Dr. Bikash Banerjee, who passed away recently. A seasoned leader with over three decades of experience in the corporate world, Dr. Banerjee’s career spanned senior roles across India’s top media houses and leadership in marketing and strategy.

From his early days as Marketing Manager at ABP Ltd (1981-1996) to leading roles as CEO of Vibrant Media, COO of Mid-Day Multimedia, VP at Business Standard, and Business Head at Dainik Bhaskar Group, he held pivotal positions that shaped the Indian media landscape.
