Exclusive: SAB TV’s Adhikari Brothers Resign; IIT Professionals Take Charge to Drive AI-Led Growth
New Delhi: The Sri Adhikari Brothers (SAB) Television Network is undergoing a significant transformation as the Adhikari brothers, Kailasnath, Markand, and Ravi Gautam, have announced their resignation from key positions within the company. This strategic move is part of a broader initiative to enhance corporate governance and steer the company towards future growth, particularly through potential AI-led initiatives.
Restructuring the Board
In a bid to modernize its governance structure, SAB TV is bringing in professionals from prestigious institutions such as IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras. This change aims to strengthen the operational management of the company while the Adhikari family will continue to hold its promoter role.
A source close to the matter revealed in an exclusive conversation with BestMediaInfo.com that the transition will see a significant shift in day-to-day governance and strategic decision-making. “Before the resignation, you will see that IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras, and a lot of professional boards will take over,” the source stated.
Reasons for Resignation
The resignations of the Adhikari brothers and several other directors were prompted by a change in management triggered by an open offer under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. Alongside the Adhikari brothers, three Independent Directors—Pritesh Rajgor, Ganesh Prasad Raut, and Umakanth Bhyravajoshyulu—along with Non-Executive Director Latasha Laxman Jadhav also stepped down.
All departing directors cited the change in management and control as their reason for resigning, confirming that there were no other material reasons beyond what was mentioned in their letters. The resignations are effective from November 18, 2025, and the directors have requested that the company complete all necessary filings with the Registrar of Companies.
Future Prospects
The restructuring is a significant step towards SAB TV’s intention to modernize its governance and operational strategies. The inclusion of highly qualified professionals from IITs is expected to bring valuable technical and strategic expertise to the company.
As the media landscape evolves, integrating AI-led initiatives into the company’s content and operational strategies is crucial. The new board members will be tasked with leveraging technology to enhance viewer engagement and optimize operational efficiencies.
Impact on the Industry
This transition at SAB TV reflects a broader trend within the media industry, where companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of technology and data-driven decision-making. By appointing professionals with strong technical backgrounds, SAB TV aims to stay competitive in a rapidly changing environment.
The move may also signal a shift in how traditional media companies approach governance and management, prioritizing expertise and innovation over familial ties. This could pave the way for similar transformations within other media organizations, encouraging a more professional approach to management.
Conclusion
The resignation of the Adhikari brothers marks a pivotal moment for SAB TV as it embarks on a new chapter focused on modernization and technological advancement. With the integration of IIT professionals into the board, the company is poised to enhance its governance and explore AI-led growth opportunities that could redefine its operational landscape.
