Radhika Roy,
MD and executive cochairperson, NDTV Groupage: 54
Roy recognised the immense possibilities that television offered as a medium of news in 1987, when she co-founded NDTV. Today, she sets the benchmark in programming for her team, and other media houses, to follow. Her core competence lies in editorial and production techniques. Indian media is moving towards different digital platforms of distribution. Roy sees this transformation as another opportunity. She believes the shift from analogue to digital will help put the channel on firmer financial ground. Within the industry, the word is that because of her sustained efforts, NDTV has become a leading news channel despite the sector facing turbulent times.
