MUMBAI:
Nick India general manager and vice president Hema Govindan
has put in her papers. An official release cites personal
reasons as the reason for her departure from Nick after
being at its helm for close to a year.
MTV
Networks India managing director and MTV Networks
Asia executive vice president Amit Jain said, "Within
the short span of her tenure Hema has done a commendable
job with Nick to put it on the right trajectory of
growth path. Over the last eight months, Nick's ratings
have tripled and viewership has risen by over 30 per
cent. More than anything else, she is leaving behind
a team that is one of the most competitive teams in
this space."
"Nick
is a priority brand for MTV Networks India and we
will continue to invest substantially in this business
to help it attain a leadership position in this country,
as it has done across the rest of the world markets,
where it occupies the no. 1 or no. 2 position in every
territory."
Govindan
will continue in her current assignment till a replacement
is finalised and in this period Jain would work closely
with the Nick team to continue to pursue Nick's growth
objectives for the year.
