Following the appointment of Satyajit Sengupta as Executive Director at Hindustan Times Media Ltd. in mid-April, there has been curiosity in the industry around the evolving leadership structure at HT Media—particularly regarding Rajeev Beotra’s future role.

Sources have confirmed that Rajeev Beotra, Executive Director – Revenue, is set to superannuate in January 2026, and a transition plan is already underway. However, his retirement is not immediate, and he remains deeply engaged in day-to-day operations.

Beotra, currently in his second stint with HT Media, has been associated with the company for nearly a decade. He is working closely with Satyajit Sengupta and CEO Sam Singh to ensure business continuity and a seamless transition across revenue functions.

In his earlier tenure, Beotra served as National Head of Revenue and Circulation from October 2005 to December 2013. After a three-year stint at Star India as the head of its Revenue function, he rejoined HT Media in a senior leadership capacity.

HT Media’s decision to continue with Beotra during the transition period highlights the company’s focus on stability, structured succession, and leveraging institutional knowledge in a time of rapid evolution within the media industry. With his extensive experience in ad sales and market relationships, Beotra is playing a critical role in supporting the onboarding and strategic alignment of his successor.

These leadership changes come as the company strengthens its print and digital business verticals to stay competitive in an increasingly complex revenue environment.

HT Media Ltd reported a consolidated revenue of Rs 2,024.88 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, registering a year-on-year growth of 7.4% from Rs 1,885.80 crore in FY24. The company posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 14.20 crore in FY25, a significant turnaround from a net loss of Rs 91.38 crore in the previous fiscal. For Q4FY25, the company posted a net profit of Rs 51.36 crore, up from a loss of Rs 31 lakh in Q4FY24.
