With various big names getting onboard the brand, now a new name is being associated with Planet Marathi. Popular senior journalist and alumnus of the company Zee Media Corporation Limited now joins Planet Marathi as AVP, Social Media.

Jayanti brings almost a decade worth of experience in media to the table. Her content creation is admired and sought after on social media. She is the right fit for being the face of Planet Marathi's fresh and evolving social personality.

Talking about her career move, Jayanti comments: "Having worked as an entertainment correspondent, I have formed a deeper relationship with this industry. From television to films and from regional to Bollywood, my endeavour has been to bring the action from the industry to spotlight. In this process, I have grown as a journalist and a person. With Zee, I have experienced every facet of media and communication that gave me recognition. But now I move on to become the face behind the camera in propelling Planet Marathi OTT - the world's first Marathi OTT platform -- towards greater heights. I am grateful to Akshay for this opportunity."

Akshay Bardapurkar, CMD, Planet Marathi, shares his thoughts on the same, saying: "We are happy to welcome Jayanti as the face of Planet Marathi's social media.

We want to keep a close connection with our audience and with Jayanti onboard, we will be able to forge these connections effectively!"
