    We’ve had editors move to corporate communication roles in the past, but that’s normally outside of the organisation. So a Sandeep Gurumurthi moved as head of editorial at ET Now to heading corp comm at the Aditya Birla group. There have been similar moves in the past. But this one at ABP Network is interesting as it’s within the organisation.

    So Rajnish Ahuja will be leading the corporate communications department, spearheading the company’s external relations, and stakeholder engagement.  Meanwhile, on an interim basis, the ABP News content team will be reporting to Sanjay Bragta and Sumit Awasthi for news gathering and news production, respectively.
