The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has appointed Ishan Chatterjee, Chief Executive Officer of JioStar Sports, as Chairman of its Digital Entertainment Committee (DEC). He succeeds Kiran Mani, whose tenure as committee chairman has concluded.
Deepit Purkayastha, Co-founder and CEO of Inshorts, will continue as the committee’s Co-Chair.
Commenting on his appointment, Chatterjee 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.”
Chatterjee served as Chief Business Officer for Sports Revenue, SMB and Creators at the company. Earlier, he held leadership positions at YouTube, including Managing Director, YouTube India, and previously held senior roles across Google, Google Play and McKinsey & Company.
Chatterjee holds an MBA in Finance from The Wharton School and a BA (Honours) in Economics from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi.
