In 2000, the company's CEO [[Sameer Nair]] and programming chief Tarun Katial introduced a number of new shows. It helped to solidify the channel's position as the leader in the Hindi-language television broadcasting area.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.starplusglobal.com/history/|title=History Star Plus Global|publisher=Star Plus Global|accessdate=6 July 2015}}</ref>
