Scoop! Simran Sethi steps down from her post as Director Creative at Netflix? Find out why!

Netflix is soaring high with success and its reach in India has also grown really big since it was first introduced in India in 2016. All thanks to Simran Sethi, who quit as SVP of Scripted Development at Freeform, and joined as a Creative Executive for India. Very soon she got promoted to the post of Director Creative, International Originals, and there was a swift boom in Netflix’s originals in India. But it looks like Simran Sethi is ready to move on and walk a different path now.

Yes, CineBlitz has exclusively learned that the boss lady has stepped down from her post as Director Creative, International Originals. A source close to the development said, ” She has decided to move on. She has worked for almost twenty months, which is less than two years, but has brought a lot of impact and scale to the business. She worked on big titles but will now step down from the post.” The source went on to point out the reason behind her exit and said that the role required Simran to be in India, and because she probably wasn’t very keen on shifting here, she stepped down from the post. Besides that, with the growing want of more original content in India, the team in India had to be managed, which would again have required Simran to come down to the country and deal with people directly. Well, this sure is sad news as she was a force to reckon and took Netflix India to great levels of success.

She has green-lit projects like Ghoul, Selection Day, Bard of Blood, and Baahubali to name a few. Simran also held coveted posts at NBC, Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions and Sony Pictures Television before Netflix. Stay tuned to CineBlitz for more such updates and news.
