We at exchange4media reached out to top management of TV9 as well as Raktim Das and multiple mails and texts went unanswered.
Raktim Das has been working very closely with top management of TV9 and there is a likelyhood that Manish seth is also likely to move on soon. However when it comes to senior level movements both the organisation and the leader stay tight lipped and until the exit has happened one is not sure and as there are confirmations in this case we will update all our e4m readers. There is always a possibility of being retained which can never be ruled out though in this case that possibility seems distant.
