- Her role at Network18: Group Legal Counsel; heads Legal, Policy and Regulatory Affairs
- Also works across: Group businesses including JioStar

A Change At The Top Of Network18's Industry Representation
Joshi is stepping down from his role at the NBDA, the industry's apex body for television news broadcasters and digital news publishers, while continuing as Managing Director of Network18. The move is described as an administrative transition driven by the increasing demands of leading the group's broadcast and digital news businesses, which have limited his ability to regularly attend the association's meetings and committee deliberations.
Network18 is expected to nominate Jatana in his place. She currently serves as Group Legal Counsel for Network18, heading Legal, Policy and Regulatory Affairs for the company, while also working across group businesses including JioStar. She oversees regulatory and government affairs matters across the group's businesses and joint ventures.
Three Decades In Media Law And Policy
Jatana brings close to three decades of experience handling legal, regulatory and policy matters across the media industry. The NBDA engages extensively with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and other government departments on issues ranging from broadcasting reforms and audience measurement to self-regulation and digital news policy, and her appointment gives Network18 a single point of contact across both its own regulatory matters and those it shares with JioStar.
