Q: What should be more important for a person in the business of news media: Earn all-important revenues at any cost even if it dilutes credibility or protect credibility and core values even at the cost of revenues?

A: Worshipping Laxmi is a noble activity and must be practised. But to ignore Saraswati is a sure recipe for business disaster.

Going beyond the metaphor, I would emphasise that when it comes to business, it is prudent to balance both. Revenue at any cost can backfire as the relevant stakeholders would decode it. One can’t short-circuit the path to success. I am excited to observe, participate in the Mahayudh – Dance of Democracy – and contribute to the forward march of the country. The A&M industry would also get positively benefited by the buoyancy caused by the overall surge in the optimism.
