Ashish Sehgal represents The Times Group at Davos, highlights India’s central role in global growth

Switzerland: Ashish Sehgal, CEO of Times TV Network and Chief Growth Officer at Times Media & Entertainment, attended the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, representing The Times Group and engaging with Indian and global leaders on growth, geopolitics, technology, policy, capital, and trust.

In a LinkedIn post, Sehgal reflected on India’s evolving position in the global economy. “Davos reinforced a simple truth: India, with its vast diversity, strong domestic demand, robust digital infrastructure, and expanding opportunities, is no longer just part of the global conversation — it is central to it and has emerged as an anchor economy amid growing geopolitical fragmentation,” he wrote.

Sehgal emphasized the role of Indian media in shaping the narrative of India’s growth story. “Indian media must play a crucial role in telling this story with credibility and scale, reflecting India’s growth, innovation, and aspirations with responsibility and global relevance,” he said.

With over three decades in the media and entertainment industry, Sehgal has led revenue and strategic growth for some of India’s largest media houses, including Zee Entertainment, where he oversaw both broadcast and digital business verticals, sports properties, and innovative revenue streams across multiple platforms. His presence at Davos underscores the increasing influence of Indian media leaders in global conversations around technology, capital, and media innovation.
