Why Us?
If Punjabi entertainment, culture, movies, theatre, songs, cuisine are not only ruling the vast public mind-space across the northern cow belt but even prying open the hitherto closed Dravidian territories currently blistering with an anti-Hindi resistance politics, one man can legitimately claim the lion’s share of the credit.
With an array of television channels catering to diverse demographics, tastes, needs and niche consumers, his house of PTC branded channels today claims an impressive 80% share in the Punjabi mass media market. Besides, he sits over a vault full of diverse programming and helms a pool of talent bursting at the seams.
