Kizilbash was part of the launch team of Ten Sports in India, joining in April 2002 as national head of ad sales. He was instrumental in achieving historic advertising revenues for the India Tours of Pakistan in 2004 and 2006.
"Rukin will be missed both personally and professionally. He has not only guided us to some remarkable successes in terms of the revenue raised over the years, but has also used his 15 years of experience in the industry to develop and guide those around him," said Taj TV COO Peter Hutton.
"One of the core team that helped launch the channel, it is understandable that after eight years he is looking for fresh challenges, and we wish him all the best for the future."
It is believed Kizilbash is moving jobs within the sports media sector.
