Deep-dive operational diligence for institutional investors, ensuring target media investments are insulated from structural risk.
Business Turnarounds
External operator intervention to eliminate systemic friction, renegotiate carriage pipelines, and stop cash bleed.
Content Syndication
Profitable global syndication frameworks across FAST channels, OTT platforms, DTH networks, and telco ecosystems.
Capability Deep-Dive
M&A Deal Mediation & Asset Valuation
Suntech Media acts as a strategic mediator for the acquisition, divestiture, and restructuring of media assets. Our valuation methodology is anchored in distribution economics and carriage-cost analysis — a lens that most traditional advisory firms overlook.
Digital & Linear Property Evaluation
Assets assessed strictly from a distribution and carriage-cost perspective to surface true enterprise value and hidden synergy opportunities.
Synergy Identification
We map operational and commercial synergies between target assets and acquirer portfolios before deal closure — protecting post-merger integration value.

Commercial Due Diligence & Business Turnarounds
Commercial Due Diligence
Partnering with institutional investors, VCs, and family offices to conduct rigorous operational due diligence. We identify margin leakage, structural risk, and hidden liabilities before capital is deployed — insulating investors from costly surprises post-acquisition.
Business Turnarounds & Restructuring
We step into struggling linear or digital channels as an external operator — eliminating systemic friction, renegotiating heavy carriage and satellite pipelines, and halting cash bleed. Our interventions are designed to restore operational efficiency and rebuild investor confidence within defined timelines.

Vivek Arora — Chief Growth Officer

A Media Transaction Architect
Vivek Arora turns media assets into growth engines with a sharp focus on distribution economics, content monetization, and execution that shows up in the numbers. He knows how to identify where value is leaking in the market, rework the commercial model, and build distribution strategies that improve both reach and profitability. His track record includes turning around underperforming businesses by bringing discipline to operations, sharpening decision-making, and aligning teams around measurable outcomes. Just as importantly, he bridges day-to-day execution with institutional capital, helping investors see the operating reality behind the headline numbers. That combination of commercial rigor, turnaround experience, and ground-level insight across India and SAARC markets gives him a perspective that is both practical and unusually complete.
