Siti Cable, Trinity Platco tie up for distribution and content
NEW DELHI: Siti Cable and Trinity Platco (formerly known as Spectranet) have announced a strategic marketing alliance in ground distribution and content management for the Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi.
According to an official statement, with this alliance, Siti Cable and Trinity Platco would bring together their combined experience in ground distribution and content management, respectively. “This alliance will make the Siti Trinity combine the largest network in Delhi and the NCR,” said Siti Cable executive vice-president Rajiv Khattar in the statement.
The alliance proposes to optimise its services by providing both digital and analogue services to the consumers in an attractive packaging of their joint services. Technically, it would be one service with ground distribution being retained in the manner that the two would not have to carry out any major changes in their existing distribution system, the statement added.
This alliance would allow the customer free choice of service with different genre of content. In addition to the choice of boxes, the two are also planning to offer, in the very near future, value-added services which would enhance the consumer’s viewing experience.

Parikshit Luthra exits CNBC-TV18 after 20-year run
Former bureau chief to take brief pause before next role
NEW DELHI: Senior journalist Parikshit Luthra has signed off from CNBC-TV18, marking 28 February 2026 as his final day and closing nearly two decades with Network18 Media & Investments Limited, including eight years at the business news channel.
During his tenure, Luthra interviewed prominent business leaders and Union ministers, reporting on economic policy, corporate strategy, the automobile sector and financial markets. His coverage spanned key inflection points in India’s economic narrative.
He also led new programming formats such as Newscentre, Global Eye and Global Lens, shows that examined politics and foreign policy through an economic prism, reflecting the channel’s push towards globally linked business reporting.
In a LinkedIn post, Luthra said his final weeks were spent covering the Union Budget, the India AI Summit, India’s trade agreements with the US and EU, and the group’s flagship Rising Bharat Summit 2026. He added that he continued anchoring until his last day and briefly met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his closing assignments.
Luthra joined CNBC-TV18 in June 2018 as assistant editor, later rising to senior editor and chief of bureau, a position he held for over two years. Before that, he worked with Republic TV and CNN-News18.
He said he plans to take a short break before embarking on his next professional chapter.
