Subhash Chandra honoured for contribution to TV industry

Hong Kong, Nov 5

Zee Group chairman Subhash Chandra has been honoured for his "lifetime contribution to the Asian pay-TV industry" at the 16th convention of the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA) here.

Marcel Fenez, CASBAA chairman said: "Subhash Chandra’s contribution has been critical to the extraordinary achievements of India’s pay-TV industry in the last 15 years. CASBAA and the industry applaud Mr. Chandra’s outstanding merits."

In his acceptance speech, Chandra said: "The achievement is not my own. Many others have made this possible, most notably my old colleagues Ronnie Screwvala of UTV Software, Prannoy Roy, the chairman of NDTV, and Raghav Bahl, who now leads Network 18 Group."

"Without teamwork, cooperation and investment from within India we’d never have had an industry that is able to contribute so much to India and the rest of Asia."

Chandra was a speaker at the convention. Other Indian speakers at the convention include Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi, BAG Network chairperson Anurradha Prasad, Digicable Network chief executive Jagjit Singh Kohli and Reliance Entertainment president Rajesh Sawhney.
