Colour Chem’s Nitin Nadkarni joins Sony as CFO
MUMBAI: Post the December 2004 corporate restructuring at Sony Entertainment Television (SET), which saw chief financial officer (CFO) NP Singh being promoted to the chief operating officer (COO) position; the company was quick to find a replacement to fill the CFO’s position. Colour Chem’s vice president finance Nitin Nadkarni was roped in as SET India’s new Chief Financial Officer.
Confirming the same to Indiantelevision.com, Singh says, “After the restructuring, the search was on to find a CFO for the company and that’s when we found Nitin.”
Nadkarni was with Colour Chem for 13 years, prior to which he was with Voltas. A chartered account by profession, Nadkarni has close to 20 years of professional experience.
“I am very happy to join Sony as this, in my view, is a very exciting and challenging industry. I’m sure it is going to be a great learning curve for me,” Nadkarni says.
MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
