Rajendra Sinh, director, HR and change management at Essel Group, has resigned. Sinh joined the Subhash Chandra-promoted group in August 2007 and 15 July will be his last day at work. Essel Group is one of India’s largest diversified media conglomerates, with interests in broadcasting, distribution, direct-to-home and publishing.

The group also runs amusement parks and is a joint venture partner in Mumbai-based Diligent Media Corp., which publishes Daily News and Analysis. The Indian Cricket League, the rebel 20-over cricket league that took off before the official Indian Premier League, is also an Essel Group property.

Prior to joining Essel Group, Sinh was director, HR, at Videocon Industries Ltd. He has also worked at JK Synthetics, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd and Reliance Industries Ltd. He holds a post graduate degree in psychology and an MBA. “I had an excellent time at Essel. We did a lot of work, we had a lot of freedom and I think the company is poised to benefit from some of the changes that have been implemented,” Sinh said. He did not say which company he was joining next.
