Former National News Editor of CNBC-TV18, Siddharth Zarabi, is all set to join Bloomberg TV India as Executive Editor on November 1, 2014. He will take over from Vivek Law who is moving on from the channel. Law held the designation of Editor.

Incidentally, Law was also National Editor of CNBC-TV18 prior to joining Bloomberg TV India in November 2010. He had spent six years with CNBC-TV18 besides stints with India Today, The Economic Times, Business Standard, Financial Express and The Statesman.

Law's next destination could not be confirmed at the time of filing this report.

At Bloomberg TV India, Zarabi will be responsible for leading the editorial function across all verticals, and he will work closely with the entire team to further enhance Bloomberg TV India's strong and influential platform for coverage of all aspects of the Indian economy, banking and finance, trade and industry, capital and FX markets, etc.

It may be recalled that Zarabi had quit CNBC-TV18 in January this year after a five-year stint with the channel. Prior to joining Network18 in 2008, Zarabi had worked with Business Standard and The Indian Express.

Commenting on this transition, Law said, “It is exactly four years - yes, time flies! - since I came to this organisation with the mandate to head the editorial operations. I am extremely grateful to the shareholders for having reposed the faith in me to lead this fabulous team. These have been the 4 most amazing years of my 21 year journalistic career. We have together created an outstanding business channel. I have no doubt in my mind that this great product will only grow and grow in the coming months and years.”

Assuming charge of his new responsibilities, Zarabi said, “I am extremely excited to take on this new role as Executive Editor of Bloomberg TV India. I am confident that with the credible platform already created by Vivek and the entire editorial team, and with the strong support of Bloomberg, the world's most influential news organization, the channel and its related products will further strengthen their leadership position in India, and deliver increasing value to their target 'Influencer' audience.”
