He was the co-owner of SAB TV.
He was 67. The last rites will be performed at 11 am in Vile Parle suburban area of Mumbai. Gautam and his brother Markand started a company-- Sri Adhikari Brothers (SAB) Group- in 1985 as a small family owned partnership firm.
It went on to become the first publicly-listed television production company in India when it was listed on the BSE in 1995.
The company initially produced serials in Marathi, but soon ventured into film distribution & production business.
It is a leading Indian M&E conglomerate with interests in broadcast, films, content production and publishing.
Gautam Adhikari, who was a diploma holder in commercial art, had directed several films and serials.
Our deepest condolences to Gautam Adhikari's family.
