MUMBAI: The Walt Disney Company in India on Thursday named Raju Venkataraman as vice-president and general manager of Disney Media Distribution (DMD), which is the new business name for Disney-ABC International Television.
Raju will look after licensing of branded and non-branded content to all platforms including free-to-air, cable and satellite broadcasters, mobile, broadband and VOD platforms. In addition, Raju will also continue in his capacity as vice president of channel distribution for Disney Media Distribution, Asia Pacific.

He was part of the core team that delivered a multi-year deal with Sun Distribution Services for the distribution of Disney Channel, Disney XD and Hungama TV across multiple platforms in India in March 2010.
