Mumbai: Times Lifestyle Enterprise CEO and Bennett Coleman and Co Ltd (Times Group) director of brand extension Sandeep Dahiya has decided to move on from the organisation. According to a statement, he will continue to be with the group till mid-November, for a smooth transition.

Dahiya spent eight years at the media conglomerate, spearheading the launch of its legacy brands into newer consumer categories. 

“It’s been a great journey over the last eight years - of learning, leading, and growing. Working closely with Vineet Jain has been a privilege, and have much to thank him for my growth and learning here," Dahiya said, confirming the development.

At Times Lifestyle Enterprise, Dahiya led the Times Group’s foray in the beauty space, with the launch of Femina Flaunt Studio Salon - a company-owned, company-operated format, in Mumbai.

“With so much happening in the fashion and beauty space - new consumer awareness, newer platforms, and exciting business-building frameworks, it’s time for me to explore newer challenging avenues," he further said.

With over 25 years of experience, Dahiya joined the Times Group from Viacom18, where he spent eight years, heading its consumer products business - creating a scalable & sustainable business model in new categories for brands and IPs of MTV, Nickelodeon, Vh1, and Colors.
