Jio Platforms names Anuj Gandhi chief business officer for digital TV

MUMBAI: Jio Platforms has appointed Anuj Gandhi as chief business officer, digital entertainment services, tasking him with leading its flagship television and connected-device platforms as competition in streaming and connected TV heats up.

In his new role, Gandhi will oversee JioTV and JioTV plus, while also steering operating system strategy for Jio TeleOS. His remit includes content planning and acquisition, platform growth and the development of strategic partnerships across the digital entertainment ecosystem.

Announcing the move on LinkedIn, Gandhi said his mandate was to build a consumer-centric, content-first ecosystem for the Indian market. He added that Jio’s television platforms were reshaping how millions consume media, while laying the groundwork for the future of connected living rooms in the country.

Gandhi will lead a cross-functional organisation spanning commercial, product, sales and delivery functions, as Jio seeks tighter integration between hardware, operating systems and content services. A key focus will be accelerating the rollout and adoption of Jio TeleOS, positioning it as a central layer in Jio’s broader digital entertainment strategy.

The appointment comes as Jio expands its footprint across content distribution, aggregation and original partnerships, aiming to cement its platforms as primary gateways for digital media consumption in India.

Before joining Jio Platforms, Gandhi founded streaming venture Streambox, which later shut down. He has also held senior leadership roles at IndiaCast, Den Networks and Set Discovery.
