The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has appointed Ishan Chatterjee, Chief Executive Officer, JioStar Sports, as the Chairman of its Digital Entertainment Committee (DEC).
Chatterjee has succeeded Kiran Mani, who has led the committee during his tenure. IAMAI has acknowledged Mani’s contributions to the committee.
Deepit Purkayastha, Co-founder and CEO of Inshorts, has continued as the Co-Chair of the Digital Entertainment Committee.
The Digital Entertainment Committee has served as a platform for industry stakeholders to engage on policy, regulatory and business issues affecting India’s digital entertainment ecosystem. The committee has worked towards fostering innovation, supporting industry growth and addressing emerging challenges across the streaming and digital media landscape.
Speaking on his appointment, Ishan Chatterjee, Chief Executive Officer, JioStar Sports, said, “India’s digital entertainment ecosystem has never been more dynamic, or more full of opportunity. The convergence of technology, creativity and evolving consumer behaviour is creating entirely new possibilities for storytelling, engagement, and monetization. Sustaining this momentum will require a collaborative environment where platforms, creators, brands, and policymakers work together to encourage innovation, build trust, and harness the potential of emerging technologies such as AI. Consumers, of course, remain at the centre of this evolution – continuously shaping how we create, distribute and experience entertainment. I look forward to working with the industry to help unlock the next phase of growth and strengthen India’s position as a leader in digital entertainment.”
