Music television network 9X Media has announced a restructuring of its national sales team. The network has been on a high growth trajectory since 2011, adding regional and international music channels to its portfolio of Hindi music channels.

Samir Kadam will head all-India sales for 9X Jalwa, the Bollywood hits channel, and 9X Jhakaas, the first Marathi music channel. Kadam has worked with Star Network, Zee TV and B4U. Before joining 9X Media, he was handling national sales for Star Jalsha Movies.

9X Media has elevated Anupama Gulati to handle the national responsibilities for the network's international music channel, 9XO. Gulati will also head the Brand Solutions function for the network.

Sachin Malhotra has been elevated to handle 9X Tashan sales across India. The sales responsibility for the group's flagship channel 9XM will be shared between Rajiv Sharma in the North and Johnson Jain in the West. All the sales heads will continue to report to Pawan Jailkhani. This structure will come into effect from the last week of April 2013.

Commenting on the restructuring, Pawan Jailkhani, Chief Revenue Officer, 9X Media Group, said, “The past 18 months have been very exciting for 9X Media Group. We have grown manifold both in terms of ad revenues and our music channels' offerings. Keeping in mind the current and future needs of our network, we have strengthened our sales team with internal and external appointments. This will enable more focused sales considering our diverse portfolio of music channels.”
