Pursuant to the signing of the definitive agreements with AMG Media to sell 49% stake, the board of Quintillion Business Media which operates digital business news platform BQ Prime Wednesday appointed Sanjay Pugalia, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of AMG Media, as a Director, and Senthil Chengalvarayan, as an Independent Director.
Pugalia is a senior journalist with more than three decades’ experience and has worked with several Indian and global news platforms. He has worked in print, television and digital space and has been part of many major launches in India.
Chengalvarayan is one of the most trusted names in Indian Business News Journalism. A doyen of the industry with over 35 years of experience, Senthil was the founding editor of CNBC TV18 and then the Editor-in-Chief of Network 18’s Business News Room.
Speaking on the new additions to the board, Raghav Bahl, Chairman, Quintillion Business Media, said, “I am delighted to welcome two of my oldest and most valued colleagues to the board of Quintillion Business Media Limited. Many moons ago, in an earlier innings, Sanjay and Senthil had worked closely with me to launch India’s largest business news broadcast/digital network. In this innings, we shall recreate and surpass that magic, in a robust new investment partnership with the Adani Group.”
On joining the board, Pugalia said, “I am delighted to join the board of BQ Prime. The team at BQ Prime has built an excellent, high-quality digital business news brand in a relatively short period of time. AMG Media Network will lend all its support to scale up this compelling offering. It’s my privilege to join hands with Raghav and Senthil once again to serve the business news consumers through this powerful platform.”
