STAR India has made a key change in its senior order. The media company has roped in Bharti Airtel’s Chief Marketing Officer Sanjay Gupta as the Chief Operating Officer. Gupta would join the company in the next couple of weeks. The COO of the company Jagdish Kumar’s mandate on the other hand would be to head the recently created joint venture between STAR India and the Jupiter Group STAR Jupiter in the south. He would continue reporting to STAR India CEO Uday Shankar.
Gupta would be based in Mumbai. All STAR GM’s would be reporting to him.
Confirming the development, Shankar informed exchange4media, “Sanjay is joining us as the COO, and he has been looking at the media business from the other side of the fence. I believe this cross-pollination of talent is important for the media business, and the business has suffered so far from the lack of it.”
Speaking further on the fact that Gupta comes to STAR from a non-media background, Shankar added, “The fundamentals of business remain the same everywhere. I came to an entertainment business with absolutely no previous experience in this domain. I am a big believer that influx of talent cannot be watertight.”
Kumar’s movement is seen as STAR’s commitment to the South operations. In an internal mail, Shankar stated that Kumar led the Asianet acquisition and was increasingly involved in the development and consolidation of the South business. It is understood that his designation too would realigned to reflect his charge of the South operations.
Sanjay Gupta joins STAR from Bharti Airtel, where he was responsible for driving marketing, sales and distribution for the $6 bn mobile business. Prior to Bharti, he played a key marketing role in Hindustan Unilever in various functions such as Oral care and Home care divisions. He has driven strong brands such as Close-up, Pepsodent, Wheel, Vim and Domex. He is a Mechanical Engineer from Delhi College of Engineering with a post graduation from IIM Kolkata. Gupta has more than 18 years of experience in key marketing and sales functions.

DCE designed moon vehicle to take part in US competition
New Delhi, Mar 31 A two-seater vehicle --&apos Moon Buggy&apos-- designed by students of a city engineering institute for the rugged lunar surface -- will take part in a NASA contest in the US state of Alabama next week.The four-wheel Moon Buggy, which can attain a speed of 30 km per hour, have been developed by five undergraduates of the Delhi College of Engineering (DCE), who left for the US today to take part in the April 3 and 4 event.
"The lunar surface is a challenging terrain and the vehicle has been made in a way so that it can move over hurdles easily. The two-seater buggy will be driven by two pilots -- a male and a female,"R K Sinha, Dean ( Industrial Research and Development), DCE, told PTI.
In the&apos NASA Great Moonbuggy Race 2009&aposat the Marshall Space Flight Centre at Huntsville, Alabama, the vehicle will be tested on a 1.12 km lunar simulated track comprising craters, rocks, lava ridges, inclines and lunar soil, he said.

NEW DELHI: After winning the `best initial design award' in 2008, the Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) is all set to compete again in the `NASA
Great Moonbuggy Race - 2009'. The two-day event, starting from April 3, will be organized at the Marshall Space Flight Centre in Alabama, US. An interdisciplinary undergraduate team of DCE, including Bharat Singh from IIIrd year mechanical, Prerit Pramod from IIIrd year electrical, Himani Gangania from IIIrd year biotechnology, Dhruv Kumar from Ist year polymer science and chemical technology and Rishab Bhargava from Ist year mechanical, has designed and developed the four-wheeler for the race. The contest is organized to test cutting edge innovations by young innovators across the globe. According to RK Sinha, dean, industrial research and development, DCE, "As compared to the Moonbuggy 2008, this year we have reduced the weight of our vehicle by 20%. The steering and suspension systems of the vehicle have also been upgraded. Disc brakes have been introduced as well. The team has used latest computer aided design and analysis tools using solid works software.'' The pilots for the DCE Moonbuggy this time will be Himani and Dhruv.
