Amit Achupulaya steps up as manager, production services, sports at JioStar

MUMBAI: Amit Achupulaya has marked a new chapter in his long sports-broadcast journey, announcing his role as manager, production services, sports at JioStar. While he has been part of the organisation, this elevated position reflects his steady rise across India’s fast-paced world of sports production.

Achupulaya’s journey spans major broadcast houses and some of the biggest sporting properties in the country and overseas. He spent more than 18 years at CNBC-TV18, growing from video editor to chief video editor and leading the channel’s post-production operations.

His portfolio covers the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, several IPL seasons for Mumbai Indians’ digital shows, and multiple ISL campaigns with Deltatre as a Libero and Piero operator. Before moving into his current role at JioStar, he served as manager and chief video editor at Sports18, handling brand solutions, match packaging and post-production workflows.

From live match edits to AR graphics, from team leadership to technical execution, Achupulaya has consistently shaped the visual storytelling behind India’s biggest sporting moments.

His new role at JioStar builds on that experience, placing him at the centre of a rapidly evolving sports broadcasting landscape where precision, creativity and speed remain the name of the game.
