MUMBAI: UTV Software Communications co-founder Zarina Mehta has put in her papers, a year after the company was wholly taken over by The Walt Disney.

Mehta was designated as chief creative officer at Walt Disney India and was looking after UTV channels including Bindass.

"After 27 years, I have decided that I need to move on from my beloved UTV," Mehta said in an internal mail to the employees. "It has given me joy and fulfillment to create a vibrant, passionate, cutting-edge company that believes passionately in creativity at its core."

She will now move full time to the foundation SHARE (Society to Heal, Aid, Restore And Educate) as managing trustee, she said in the mail.
