Esha Media Research Limited (BSE: 531259) has filed a disclosure under Regulation 30 of SEBI LODR Regulations regarding a management transition and strategic repositioning of the company.
The disclosure announces the completion of a management transition where the founding team has moved from executive and operational roles to advisory positions. This transition follows a change in ownership and control of the Company earlier this year and the Company's 43rd Annual General Meeting held on July 7, 2026.
The new leadership team consists of Mr. Siddharth Saraf as Managing Director and Mr. Rakesh Mudgal as Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer. The Board has been reconstituted with domain expert Independent Directors: Dr. Dimple Joshi, Ms. Reena U. Wagh and Mr. Ashok Kumar Thakur.
The outgoing founding team, led by Mr. Raman Iyer, will continue to support the new management on client continuity, domain knowledge and industry relationships during the transition and beyond.
From a business standpoint, the company is repositioning itself from a traditional broadcast-only media monitoring firm into an AI-native, end-to-end media and reputation intelligence platform. The new platform will deliver monitoring, measurement, analytics and response intelligence across multiple media channels including:
- Broadcast television across national and regional languages
- Print media spanning mainline, financial and vernacular publications
- Digital news, web and online publications
- Key social media platforms, influencer ecosystems and short-form video
- Podcasts and creator-led media
The company's target client universe includes corporates and listed companies, consumer brands, sports teams and sporting properties, public figures, agencies, and government and public sector institutions. Offerings will span brand and reputation tracking, sentiment and share-of-voice analytics, crisis and risk alerts, competitive intelligence, campaign measurement and executive reputation management.
The company has commenced work on platform modernisation, product development, talent acquisition and strategic partnerships, with further updates on its product roadmap and growth initiatives expected in the coming quarters.
Financial impact not quantified in the disclosure.
