In the last two years, we have been the fastest growing media and entertainment network having grown eight-folds. I attribute this growth to the hot-bed of talent that we have within Viacom18 and the unique entrepreneurial environment that we have been able to create.” Abhinav Chopra, head of human resources at Viacom18, added, “What makes Viacom18 a truly great place to work is the exciting mix of business and people processes. In this industry, while it’s important to catalyze creative thinking and entrepreneurial spirit, it is as important to align them with business objectives.
