Initial reports suggested he was in talks with Focus TV, a new channel being floated by the Jindal group. Scroll reported that Sardesai is considering taking a break for a year to write a book. Sagarika Ghose took to Twitter to announce her decision publicly late on Thursday night. The senior journalist has spent around 25 years in the profession. We created magic and that magic touched millions of lives, and the magic will remain with each of us always!
She ended her message by saying: "Good bye is an unhappy word. I prefer au revoir.. Founded by Raghav Bahl, Network 18 is one of India's largest media companies. Initial reports suggested that Sardesai would quit once the new management takes over on June 7. At an editorial meeting, Prannoy Roy admitted that Rajdeep's exit has hit him, both, emotionally and professionally. And it would take a while to come out of it," the reporter added. Although not many reporters, producers or anchors have quit NDTV with Rajdeep so far, media circles say that the exodus would come in couple of months, particularly as the Broadcast News launch date comes closer and the studios and other things are put in place.
Bhupinder Choube, NDTV's ace correspondent who has been covering the Bharatiya Janata Party and other political parties, is being tipped to be Rajdeep's right hand man. Shivnath Thukral, who has excelled in business reporting, is yet another name that is being mentioned in this regard. Some of the producers who worked with Rajdeep on The Big Fight are also expected to quit and join hands with him at hefty salaries.
He felt insulted when the figures were made public by NDTV, sources said. The India Today Group is primarily controlled by Purie, although the Aditya Birla Group owns a substantial chunk of the organisation, which it is now looking to sell. Delighted to be joining TV Today network, India's largest news network, as consulting editor. Looking forward to working with a great team — Rajdeep Sardesai sardesairajdeep September 11, Will be doing a prime time show with Headlines Today soon.
And a bit of Hindi on Aaj tak! So, it's back to the box soon. The consulting editor approach is similar to the path senior journalist Karan Thapar has taken at Headlines Today, where his only responsibility is overseeing the primetime show To The Point, rather than being involved in overall newsroom operations. Gupta too, will technically be an Editorial Advisor to the group following his exit from the editor-in-chief position, with Purie writing in a memo that he "remains passionate" to the India Today Revamp Project, although his actual input is expected to be limited to writing for the India Today magazine.
Purie's entire memo is below.
