Lovejeet Alexander joins Bloomberg as director for new economy
Public-affairs veteran to drive convening and narrative at markets–policy crossroads
GURUGRAM: Bloomberg has appointed Lovejeet Alexander as director, New Economy, strengthening its push to convene leaders and shape debate at the intersection of markets, policy and global economic change.
Based in New Delhi, Alexander will advance the Bloomberg New Economy initiative from India, working with leaders across business and government as part of the platform’s global network. A marquee moment on the calendar is the 2026 Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi, signalling India’s rising weight in global economic conversations.
Alexander described Bloomberg’s work at the crossroads of markets, policy and transformation as a global benchmark for independent, fact-based journalism and convening, and said he looks forward to contributing to the initiative from India. He also acknowledged David Hearn for the opportunity and expressed gratitude to those who have been part of his journey.
His profile blends public affairs, strategic communications, alliances and ecosystem-building, with a growing focus on how AI reshapes education, institutions and public discourse. His work centres on crafting narratives and curating conversations at moments of structural change—especially where technology, learning, media and policy meet.
He has been closely involved in conceptualising, curating and moderating forums and leadership dialogues that bring together educators, policymakers, media professionals, technologists and institutional leaders. His interests range from AI’s impact on cognition and attention to institutional narratives in an algorithm-driven media environment, and from thought leadership to cross-sector alliances.
Alexander joins from the Learning Leadership Foundation, where he served as head of public affairs, corporate communications and strategic alliances. Earlier, he was consulting editor at India News Business and before that editor-in-chief and chief executive at founderINDIA.
His career also includes a long stint as lead PR strategist at GreenCheese, advisory roles at Perfect Relations—where he helped curate and conceptualise Prestival, Asia’s large PR festival—and heading corporate communications at Anand Group of Industries. He has handled corporate communications at Dainik Jagran’s i-next project and worked as a journalist with Sahara Media, Bennett, Coleman and Co. Ltd. (Times Group), Hindustan Times and Dainik Jagran, covering beats from politics to business and economy.
Open to advising on AI, education and policy forums, as well as public affairs and narrative strategy, Alexander positions platforms and dialogues—not just messages—as tools to build trust and influence.
As economies fragment and technology rewires power, Bloomberg’s wager is on ideas and access. With Alexander in the room, the conversations may get sharper—and the stakes higher.

Filmcity Media CFO Mohit Jain quits; CEO Kirti Vishnu Tiwari takes charge of finance
Board appoints Prabhat Modi as additional director and approves Rs 1.9 crore preferential share issue
MUMBAI: Filmcity Media has reshuffled its top deck. Chief financial officer Mohit Jain has stepped down, prompting the board to hand the finance reins to chief executive Kirti Vishnu Tiwari even as the company lines up fresh capital and new boardroom muscle.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE, Filmcity Media said Jain resigned from the roles of director and chief financial officer with effect from March 11, 2026, to pursue another career opportunity. He ceased to be a key managerial personnel of the company at the close of business on that date.
The board swiftly moved to plug the gap, appointing Kirti Vishnu Tiwari as chief financial officer from March 12, 2026. Tiwari, who already serves as executive director and chief executive, will now hold the combined role of executive director, CEO and CFO, taking charge of the company’s finance function while continuing to lead operations.
The leadership changes were approved by the board following recommendations from the nomination and remuneration committee, with the audit committee also backing Tiwari’s appointment as CFO to ensure governance oversight. Under the arrangement, Tiwari will continue as a key managerial personnel under Section 203 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Filmcity Media also expanded its board, appointing Prabhat Modi as additional director with effect from March 13, 2026, for a term of five years. The appointment, categorised as a non-executive non-independent directorship, will require shareholder approval at the next general meeting.
Modi brings capital market experience to the role. He holds a B.Sc in accounting and finance from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom and a PGDM from the National Institute of Securities Market. His professional experience includes stints at SBI Mutual Fund, BSE India and Morningstar India, where he worked on market research, financial analysis and capital market operations.
Tiwari, meanwhile, brings experience spanning finance, marketing and hospitality. A graduate of Lucknow University, she has previously worked with Hotel Holiday Inn, Hotel Leela Kempenski and Hotel Sea Rock, along with roles at Pawan Hans Helicopter and CBRE South Asia.
Separately, the board also approved a preferential issue of equity shares to members of the promoter and promoter group as well as non-promoter investors. The proposed fundraising, subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to raise up to Rs 1.9 crore.
The company said both appointees meet all regulatory requirements under SEBI regulations and the Companies Act and are not barred by any regulatory authority from holding their positions.
With a new board face, a CEO doubling as CFO and fresh capital on the table, Filmcity Media appears to be tightening its leadership and balance sheet in one swift move.
