MUMBAI: Balaji Telefilms has seen a key leadership shuffle. Liji Godbole, who led the company’s human resources vertical as group head – HR, officially stepped down on 20 June 2025. Her resignation, attributed to a decision to pursue other career opportunities, was confirmed by the company in a formal stock exchange filing to BSE and NSE.
In her letter addressed to the group CEO and group CFO dated April 25, Godbole expressed gratitude to the board, senior management and colleagues for their support during her tenure. “I hereby tender my resignation from the position of group head – HR of the Company to pursue other career opportunities outside the Company”, she wrote.
The move, in line with regulatory requirements, was disclosed under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and SEBI’s July 2023 circular that mandates transparency in senior personnel changes.
Balaji Telefilms stated that Godbole’s association with the firm had ended and confirmed that the update has been uploaded on the company’s website. While no successor has been named yet, the development reflects ongoing flux within the television and digital content production house that has long been synonymous with Indian soap opera dominance.
With no directorial linkages involved, the resignation stands purely professional and voluntary. The company did not release any statement on a potential replacement or organisational restructuring within the HR function.
The last few months have seen Balaji Telefilms tighten its internal governance and streamline departments amid industry-wide shifts in content consumption patterns and platform distribution.
While Godbole’s next chapter remains under wraps, her exit adds another page to the story of India’s rapidly evolving entertainment workforce.
