Sony Pictures Networks India is facing challenges in the Indian TV market, with its entertainment channels struggling to produce popular fiction programming and its presence in sports diminishing. The company's revenue grew by only 2% in 2022-23. To address these issues, Sony has appointed Gaurav Banerjee as the new managing director and CEO. Banerjee, who previously worked for Disney Star, will need to bring new energy to the company and focus on developing successful fiction shows. Additionally, he will need to make SonyLIV, the streaming platform, more relevant and reconsider the company's conservative approach to investments.

Sony has confirmed that the PS5 Pro will not be coming to India due to regulatory restrictions around Wi-Fi 7. The PS5 Pro, an upgraded version of the current PS5, relies on Wi-Fi 7 for smoother gameplay and improved graphics. Wi-Fi 7 is the latest wireless standard designed to improve connection speeds and support high data loads. However, India's government has not yet approved the use of the 6GHz band necessary for Wi-Fi 7. This leaves Indian gamers with the option of sticking with the current PS5 or waiting for an alternative solution to be introduced by Sony.
