Avinash Pandey, CEO, ABP Network, has parted ways from the network after a two-decade-long stint. 

Pandey joined the network in 2005 as assistant vice president, head revenue, from TV Today. After holding several key positions over the years at the network, he was appointed as the group's CEO in 2019.

Atideb Sarkar, chief editor and director, ABP Network, said, “During his two decades in the company, it has grown manifold in reach, revenue and impact. His leadership in the past five years has seen us at the forefront of digital broadcasting while extending our reach from Jammu to Kanyakumari. He played a key role in our award-winning centenary campaign. On a personal note, he has been a pleasure to work with, a joyful fellow traveller in my professional journey, and a friend. Thank you, Avinash, for all that you have brought to the ABP family. We wish you success and happiness in your future endeavours.”

Pandey said, “I wish to thank the Sarkar Family and Atideb Sarkar, in particular, for having reposed such faith in me, that I could play a meaningful part in ABP Network's exhilarating journey of excellence in digital and broadcast. I have found a good friend for life in him. I could achieve all this in 20 years because of an excellent team that surrounded me. I was lucky to meet and work with them and have developed a bond that’s going to last lifelong. The ABP Network will always hold a special place in my heart. One leaves ABP but ABP never leaves an individual.”
