Senior journalist Ravish Kumar, a Ramon Magsaysay awardee, resigned from NDTV on Wednesday, a day after the channel’s founders Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy resigned from the board of directors of its parent company, RRPR Holding Private Limited.
NDTV Group president Suparna Singh, in an email to her colleagues, reportedly said: “Ravish has resigned from NDTV and the company has agreed to his request for his resignation to be effective immediately”.
Ravish has been an integral part of NDTV for decades; his contribution has been immense, and we know he will be hugely successful as he embarks on a new beginning,” she said.
The move came after NDTV’s promoter, RRPR Holding, announced on November 28 that it had transferred 99.5% of its equity capital to the Adani Group-owned Vishvapradhan Commercial.
