Shazia Fazal has been promoted to Head of Affiliate – South Asia at Warner Bros. Discovery, marking nine years with the global media and entertainment company.

Sharing the milestone on LinkedIn, Fazal reflected on her journey: “If someone had told the young girl watching Warner Bros. content that she would one day help lead its distribution in India, she would have smiled but she may not have believed it. Nine years after joining Warner Bros. Discovery, here we are. On my 9th anniversary, I’ve been elevated to the role of Head of Affiliate – South Asia. If I were a scriptwriter, I truly couldn’t have written a better script.”

In her new role, Fazal will lead affiliate and distribution strategy across the South Asia region. She most recently served as Senior Director – DTH, Telecom and Digital Alliances, where she oversaw key distribution partnerships across direct-to-home, telecom, and digital platforms. Over the course of her tenure, she has held multiple leadership positions, including Director – DTH and Telecom Partnerships and Associate Director – DTH at Discovery Inc and later at Warner Bros. Discovery.

Fazal joined Discovery in 2017 and has played a pivotal role in strengthening the company’s distribution ecosystem in India. Prior to that, she worked with Sony Pictures Networks India in business development roles and earlier with West Coast Group and Marketing Solutions Private.
