Aha is an OTT player owned by Arha Media & Broadcasting, a joint venture between Geetha Arts and real estate business group My Home Group, which offers original content in Telugu and Tamil languages.

At Sun TV, the Chennai-based Jaubin handled several challenging assignments, having joined the network in August 2007 as head of Kids Channels (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam). She took on the additional responsibility of cluster head-content acquisition at the broadcaster.
Jaubin took over the mantle of head of Sun Life, the network’s second general entertainment channel, in 2011 for nine years before taking up her final stint at the broadcaster as head of content and brand integration in February 2020.
Prior to Sun TV, she served a brief stint as executive producer at 92.7 BIGFM.
Early on in her career, she even donned a creative hat as writer-director at Star India’s Star Vijay Television for four years.
