Double feature as IN10 rewrites credits for key content and ops leads
MUMBAI: Two’s company, but IN10 Media Network is making it a power duo. In a move straight out of a well-scripted plot twist, the network has handed expanded mandates to two of its leading men Samar Khan and Sourjya Mohanty across its digital platforms Docubay and Epic On.
Khan, best known for helming Juggernaut Productions, will now don the hat of chief content officer for both platforms. His new gig sees him leading the content charge, shaping the creative direction, and fine-tuning the storytelling voices of the documentary-led DocuBay and the fiction-forward Epic On. Call it a genre-spanning role with a tight narrative brief.
On the operations front, Mohanty, already the COO at Epic On, will now extend his oversight to Docubay as well becoming the double-barrelled COO tasked with keeping the business engine running smoothly across both arms of the network.
Speaking on the leadership elevation, IN10 Media Network managing director Aditya Pittie said, “Samar and Sourjya’s expanded roles reflect the confidence we have in their leadership and vision. In today’s rapidly evolving ecosystem, success lies at the intersection of strong content and sound strategy. At IN10 Media Network, we are committed to building a future-ready digital content business, one that is driven as the premium destination of documentaries and other is for the fictional storytelling excellence. This leadership realignment is a key step in advancing that mission and solidifying our position in the digital media landscape.”
The twin elevation is part of IN10’s broader vision to create a more seamless and strategic content ecosystem. By syncing operations and storytelling, the media group hopes to strengthen both platforms’ positioning as go-to destinations for bold, relevant, and globally resonant content.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
