Farewell to a real legend. Throughout his tenure he ensured that Sony as a broadcaster stayed lean, mean and fit, instead of branching out into multiple languages and genres (which could very well have dragged it down) — and which it would definitely have spread into had the Zee merger gone through. This is why Sony, despite its small size and despite losing the IPL and several other properties, lives on to fight well after the Zee merger collapsed.

Read this interview from a couple of years ago to know just how solid (and humble) the guy is. Singh saab, tussi great ho!

Sony network faced a lots of ups and downs in his tenure.

Positives:
1. Acquisition of Ten Sports
2. Launch of Sony Liv.
3. The network is one of the most profitable entertainment companies in India.
4. First ten seasons of IPL on Sony Max— it made IPL what it is today!

Negatives
1. Failed merger with Zee.
2. Sony's conservative approach in movie acquisition, channel launches and shutdown of popular channels like Sony Mix, Sony le Plex hd, axn etc
3. Failure to acquire IPL, ICC rights
4. Everlasting struggle of Sony Entertainment Television in terms of TRP.

Only thing I did not like about his tenure is the shutdown of AXN and Swapping of Animax with Yay without any prior information to customer other than that rest is good.

Zee merger failure is because of one person, that person is Punit Goenka, no one else can't be blamed.
IPL, ICC rights cost too much. Star is bleeding basically because of these rights.

Gaurav Banerjee is right CEO for Sony ?

At Disney Star, Banerjee oversaw content for Hindi entertainment and Disney+ Hotstar, and served as business head for Star Bharat, as well as Hindi and English movies, kids & infotainment, and regional (east) channels.
