    Network18 has beefed up its anchoring muscle with Amish Devgan, one of the more visible faces of Hindi news television joining as Executive Editor.

     

    Devgan, who recently moved on from Zee Media as Editor, has made an impact for his inimitable style of anchoring. While it may be incorrect to make comparisons, he is often regarded as the Arnab Goswami of Hindi news television.

     

    Devgan has around a decade-and-a-half experience in journalism and started his career in Hindustan Times moving to Zee News in 2002 and in 2005 to Zee Business.

     

    Sources close to Devgan have confirmed the development and that he joined the network yesterday (June 6). Devgan will be associated with IBN7, but given his background in business, he may also be associated with CNBC Awaaz.
