India TV CEO Chintamani Rao quits
MUMBAI: Chintamani Rao has resigned from the post of CEO of Rajat Sharma’s Independent News Service (INS), which owns and operates Hindi news channel India TV.
While confirming his resignation, Rao refused to give any indication as to where his next port of call would be. “I will reveal my plans within the next four weeks,” was all he was willing to offer.
Rao’s exit comes close on the heels of India TV managing editor Rohit Bansal’s elevation last week to INS COO. The post is a newly created one.
India TV chairman Rajat Sharma said , “India TV has achieved the big league in the Hindi News genre in the last one year on the back of innovative news programming and a strong distribution push. A strong team is ready andeager to achieve the next level in sales and branding.”
Rao, an advertising veteran of more than three decades before he joined India TV said, “It will be very satisying to see India TV and brand Rajat Sharma becoming bigger.”

CNBC India unveils new logo, rolls out refreshed identity across network
Debuted at IBLA, the redesign signals a sharper, digital-first future
MUMBAI: CNBC has unveiled a refreshed brand identity across its India network, introducing a new logo and visual system that reflects a more modern, digital-first direction.
The rebrand was officially revealed at the India Business Leader Awards held in Mumbai on March 14, marking the first public showcase of the updated design at one of the network’s most prominent platforms.
The overhaul is among the most visible brand updates for CNBC in recent years, aimed at aligning its look and feel with evolving audience habits and a growing multi-platform presence.
At the centre of the refresh is a redesigned logo that moves away from the network’s long-standing multi-coloured peacock motif, opting instead for a cleaner and more minimalist aesthetic. A key visual cue is a blue upward-pointing arrow embedded within the letter ‘N’, symbolising forward momentum, growth and a focus on the future.
The new identity is being rolled out across the entire CNBC cluster in India, including CNBC-TV18, CNBC-TV18 Prime, CNBCTV18.com, CNBC Awaaz and CNBC Bajar. The move brings a more cohesive and contemporary design language across television and digital platforms alike.
The rollout began on March 30, with the network aiming to create a unified viewer experience regardless of how audiences access its content, be it on broadcast, online or connected devices.
With this refresh, CNBC is signalling its next phase of growth in India, blending legacy credibility with a sharper, forward-looking identity designed for an increasingly digital news ecosystem.
