Eastern Media Limited is Odisha’s No.1 media house.
Our flagship brand is Sambad, the most widely read and trusted Odia daily. Our other verticals include the radio channel Radio Choklate 104 FM, the leading 24×7 Odia news channel Kanak News and our content aggregator platform, Sambad Digital.

For over four decades, Sambad has been more than just a media house, it has been a movement. Sambad has led a series of transformative initiatives-spanning the promotion of the Odia language, the celebration of Odisha’s rich art and the divine culture of Sri Jagannath, raising awareness about climate change and organizing state-wide blood donation campaigns.

Similarly, the Sambad CEO Conclave, launched in 2022, is Odisha’s first platform where business leaders come together to share ideas and discuss key industry issues.
The inaugural edition, themed “Pandemic and Beyond” was a timely response to the global health crisis and its impact on businesses.
The second edition delved into “Industry Challenges and Future Prospects” addressing key concerns and opportunities across sectors.
The third edition, “Sustainability Practices in Industry”, highlighted the importance of responsible and eco-conscious growth.

Now in its fourth year, the Sambad CEO Conclave 2025 sets its sights on one of the most transformative forces of our time:
Industries in the Age of AI: Disruption, Innovation and the Road Ahead

The conclave will convene top CEOs, policymakers and innovators to explore how AI is transforming productivity, decision-making and workforce dynamics, while also addressing the ethical and strategic considerations that come with these advancements.
