We Stand With Women

9 October 2018

Over the last few days, we have heard gut-wrenching stories of abuse from women across the country. At Star, we are taking this moment to reaffirm our commitment to the central values of our company. Yesterday, our streaming platform Hotstar announced the cancellation of the third season of On Air with AIB, given the developments around the group. We wanted to draw the line on anything that ran counter to our norms and values. At the company, we are deeply committed to fostering a safe workplace for women, one that accords them the highest degree of respect, dignity and the canvas to aspire for big impact. We have in place policies and institutional structures, including the Internal Complaints Committee that was instituted early 2014 in accordance with the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. 

We stand with women around the country in drawing the line on any behaviour that violates human dignity or their ability to pursue their dreams with freedom.

Life OK charts a winning strategy

“Life OK was supposed to be a challenger to the No. 1 slot within the network. We had the full backing of the management in terms of intent and investment. But the proof that we can actually do it has come only in the last 6-8 months. We have grown to 14 per cent share and reached No. 4. But more importantly, people are taking notice that in terms of reach, we are as good as the top channel! Having said that, we are getting as many failures as we are getting hits. So there is more we need to do

Life OK: Rising Star

Sanjay Gupta, COO, Star India, "Star One wasn't sharply positioned. It didn't make much sense to either viewers or advertisers. There was an opportunity to talk to conservative India, where people believe in the importance of tradition and family. The revenues of Life OK are much more than five times those of Star One. It has the potential to be the next No 1."

Those epic good old days

Classic stories like Mahabharat are evergreen.
