Tata Sky CEO Harit Nagpal is likely to have a new right-hand man soon. The DTH platform has shortlisted Sky Italia’s VP of partner channels Paolo Agostinelli to fill in the shoes of Nicola Bamfordi - who has gone back to London as Sky's director EST in June 2013. Agostinelli is slated to come on board as the chief programming and strategy officer reporting into Nagpal.

“The intention is to get the best talent available for the job. It is a competitive market and we need to get the best,” says Nagpal. The DTH operator has applied to the government and is awaiting the permission to get Agostinelli aboard. “He is still in Italy. The permissions can take a month or two.”
