Deeply embedded in the cultural roots of Odisha, Sidharth TV Network is the pioneer of change in entertainment, be it music, movies, television or digital medium in India.[1]. Existing for 4 decades in the trade, the network offers a plethora of innovative premium entertainment content to the common Odia viewers. The network is owned by Sitaram Agrawalla and his wife Namita Agrawalla[2].
History
Sitaram Agrawalla has been a brand in the entertainment industry of Odisha for 4 decades. Established in 1983, he became Odisha’s first music company under the brand label JE, and in 1985 he formed an audio recording studio in Odisha named JE Studio[3].
In 1999, he founded the brand Sarthak with the launch of Sarthak Music for album releases.
The group launched its first TV channel, Sarthak TV, in 2010, which became the No. 1 GEC within 4 years. It was later sold to Zee Entertainment Enterprises in 2015 and rebranded as Zee Sarthak.
As a consequence of the deal with Zee, they discontinued the brand 'Sarthak' (for television only) and reintroduced themselves as 'Sidharth' in 2015.
In 2017, they launched 2 FM stations for Bhubaneswar & Rourkela cities, playing 100% Odia songs under the brand – 91.9 Sarthak FM.
In 2020, they received 4 TV Channel Licenses in the Non-News Category from Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (India) and were preparing for a grand re-entry into the Odia television space.
On 15th May 2021, Sitaram Agrawalla & Namita Agrawalla, owners of Sidharth TV Network, launched two new TV channels: Sidharth TV, a General Entertainment Channel, and Sidharth Gold, for Music & Movies[4].
The network also runs a devotional TV channel Sidharth Bhakti since 1st April 2021[5].
The Network is also planning to launch one more channel, Sidharth Music, for Odia music lovers by the end of 2021[6]

Sidharth TV Network is focused solely on building entertainment brands across all genres that are the epitome of premium content, with businesses across platforms like Broadcast, Digital, Production, and Radio, covering every aspect of the content life-cycle.
