Abraham Thomas is set to join as CEO of India’s Radio City 91.1 FM from Monday.

He is not only a highly experienced business manager but also extremely passionate about radio’s various facets- content, marketing and new distribution platforms like digital. Over the last decade we have built Radio City into a market leader in the FM industry, as well as a Great Place to Work across industries. Abe brings with him maturity and an outstanding ability to work with high quality teams which will only help take the culture of Radio City to greater heights,” announced Purohit, confirming the news.

Commenting further,  Thomas added: “I am very excited to be part of Radio City – India’s leading radio brand and most preferred media employer, at this critical juncture as the organization expands its footprint to become the leading radio network in the country. With Radio City, Radio Mantra and the recently acquired new licenses, the group is strategically poised to become the leading radio player of the future.”
