Chandra, who is also chief executive of NDTV Networks, has replaced Sanjay Trehan who had quit the organisation in April.

In an internal communication, NDTV promoters Radhika and Prannoy Roy made this announcement.

“He (Chandra) helped NDTV.com grow virtually from scratch to one of India’s most popular websites. In many ways this is his first love-and we are very happy to have him back—and to take it to a new leadership position again,” the letter said.
