Media and entertainment major JioStar has brought in industry veteran Amit Malhotra to lead its international business as the company's newest Head of International Business. He took charge this week and will work from a Singapore base, tasked with charting the company's international expansion strategy over the coming years while building its profile as a distinctive, world-class name in entertainment, per details shared through an internal company communication.
According to that memo, Amit's mandate covers three broad areas: setting out a clear direction for how overseas markets fit into the company's growth story, driving that vision down to the level of individual markets through new market entries, forging partnerships that move the needle, and pushing innovation forward in international territories at a faster pace.
Outside of his JioStar responsibilities, Amit continues to advise both Affinity Equity and Emtek Group. He also holds a governance position at Singapore's Nanyang Polytechnic, sitting on its Board of Governors, and separately chairs the Advisory Committee overseeing the institution's School of Design and Media.
His career prior to JioStar includes a stint as Managing Director for Warner Media, where he oversaw the company's streaming and direct-to-consumer business across a cluster of markets — India, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. That role began in 2021. Before making that switch, Amit spent 17 years climbing the ranks at Disney, culminating in a position as Regional Lead for Disney+ across Southeast Asia.
