NEW DELHI: Journalist Bhupendra Chaubey has joined Andhra Prabha Publications as India Ahead owner and co-promoter and will be a part of the core founding time, felicitating the publications foray in the broadcast sector. 

Sharing the news, Andhra Prabha Publications noted in a press statement, “An iconic journalist, Bhupendra is being appointed as group editor-in-chief and CEO for our foray in the world of broadcasting. He will be joining as a co-promoter and owner, and will be a part of the core founding team.”

Chaubey will also manage the affairs of the twelve editions of the paper, English news channel India Ahead and the company’s foray in regional spaces. 

Andhra Prabha founder promoter Goutham said, “Bhupendra comes with a phenomenal industry experience of two decades. It's a huge honour for us to be welcoming him aboard. In a post Covid2019 world, the media landscape is changing dramatically. Chaubey is the best person to take this company forward and create a new template for broadcasting.” 

Chaubey said, “I have known Goutham for a while. He paved a way and invited me to become his partner that enabled me to get into broadcasting with my own creative and disruptive ideas; post moving on from network 18. The sheer opportunity for experiments in a post-covid world convinced me that this was the best time to take up this challenge.” 

He added, “Future is all digital. The team of industry A-listers we have put together has laid out a plan which makes for a very exciting journey ahead. We want to be local and global. We are not just a tv channel or a print publication. We are a tech-based multi-platform news entity.” 

Earlier this year, Chaubey had stepped down from his position as the executive editor of CNN-News 18, after serving the organisation for nearly 15 years.
