In this day and age of celebrity egos and anger, it is interesting to come across someone who is comfortable being what he is and trying to make sure his work is worth something.<\/p>\n
In Quora today, I came across an interesting question on Satyan Gajwani, the CEO of Times Internet.<\/p>\n
How did Satyan Gajwani become Times Internet CEO at just 27?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The question is obviously pointing to a certain answer, which could be an embarrassment to Satyan.\u00a0 Well, I was sure whatever the answer may be, this guy is set to be roasted in public.\u00a0 So, I check out the \u201cBest Answer\u201d.\u00a0 And, it is given by Satyan Gajwani himself!<\/p>\n
Yep, this is true. I am married to Trishla Jain, daughter of Samir Jain. And I\u2019m 100% sure that has had a significant impact as to why I\u2019m CEO of Times Internet today.<\/p>\n
That being said, I would expect that I\u2019ll be measured more by what Times Internet is able to accomplish over the next few years, rather than where I am today. The Times management team has given me a lot of room and trust to make Times Internet a world-class digital company, and that\u2019s my single-focus goal. With the support of an incredible team, I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll get there.<\/p>\n
PS: Really, there\u2019s no need to write all of this anonymously; most people are just pointing out an honest fact.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Interesting guy\u2026 huh!\u00a0 Has the humility and humor to look at himself for where he is and where he is headed.<\/p>\n
As if one didn\u2019t realize already, someone who knows the dude (\u201cAnon User\u201d, this time), chips in:<\/p>\n
Yes, Satyan Gajwani married Trishla Jain and as we all already know, money begets money.<\/p>\n
However, having interacted with Satyan closely for close to a year now, I think he deserves the post. He\u2019s one of the sharpest brains I\u2019ve interacted with and I love the way he pushes his team (very gently, but forcefully) and gets them to do what he wants.<\/p>\n
In a totally Indian surrounding, he remains an American at heart \u2013 no ego, can take no for an answer as long as you can justify your point of view, on time for every meeting and really puts his heart and soul in what he does. He certainly is one of the few people in Corporate India currently that I respect a lot!<\/p>\n
P.S: I don\u2019t and have never worked for the Times Group.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Although I don\u2019t particularly like any of the Indian websites, particularly those in the Times stable \u2013 because the pop ups, the messy design and too much clutter AND the auto-start loud Video ads (going to TOI in office is a STRICT NO for me!! \u2013 so get your basic act together dude!) puts you off!\u00a0 As I have said earlier, I believe Indian media websites have to learn a lot from even Pakistani web media.\u00a0 They are so much better and won\u2019t mess you up.\u00a0 My own evaluation of Satyan\u2019s web media smarts notwithstanding, I like his way of handling himself in public. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
