Vinod Bhanushali moves on from T-Series after 27 years
Mumbai: Super Cassettes Industries (T-Series) president of global marketing and media publishing Vinod Bhanushali has resigned from the company after serving it for 27 years. He has announced his plans to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams and is setting up a boutique content company.
“Having literally started my career at T-Series, it’s an emotional moment for me as I leave the company,” he said. “Whatever I know about music and films, I have learnt it all during my sole long innings in this company. I’ll forever be obliged to my mentor, Gulshan Kumar Ji, and Bhushan Kumar.”
Bhanushali led the marketing of over 1,000 films and was instrumental in making T-Series as India’s largest music company, one of the largest integrated motion picture studios, and creating and building the world’s biggest YouTube channel with over 190 million subscribers.
As he embarks on an entrepreneurial journey, Bhanushali added, “I’ve always worked like an entrepreneur, taking all decisions which were good for business, growth of the company and also for the people who work there. And BK (Bhushan Kumar) supported all my decisions. I’m excited to start something of my own, which I will announce very soon.”
Bhanushali had started his career as a clearing and forwarding agent at the Mumbai Customs Docks, before shifting to the entertainment business by joining Sahara Studios as an associate junior worker. A chance meeting with the late Gulshan Kumar in November 1994 became a turning point in his life when he joined T-Series. Since then, Bhanushali has been the driving force of the music company.
He was also the co-producer on several Bollywood films like ‘Kabir Singh’, ‘Batla House’, ‘Saaho’, ‘Thappad’ and ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
