MUMBAI: It was a shocker when the news of multi system operator (MSO) Den Networks CEO SN Sharma quitting the company broke. Now, after months of speculation about his next move, Sharma has made the decision.

The man credited with creating one of the biggest MSO network, Den Networks, will now be looking into the day to day operations of Reliance Jio. Confirming the news to Indiantelevision.com, Sharma said, “Yes, I have joined Reliance Jio.”

Reporting into Reliance Jio CEO K. Jayaraman, Sharma will be an integral part of the top management. 

Sharma joined office starting 23 February but whether he will continue operating from Delhi, will be decided at a later stage.

With Reliance Jio awaiting approvals for the pan India MSO licence, the company is rapidly strengthening its team. 

During his stint at Den Networks, Sharma’s vision of growth through consolidation and digitisation had laid the foundation for the company. He also spearheaded Den Networks' rapid growth with his visionary leadership and execution abilities. He was also the driving force behind taking the company into the digital era.

He has nearly three decades of experience during which he has been associated with the electronic media industry for over 20 years.
