It was only appropriate that the announcement and the detailing was done via Tweets. After all, we are talking about the man who set up Twitter in India, and has possibly been living his life in 140 charcters… over the last four years at least.
So here are tweets, as he posted them:
> Today, I’m excited to share I’ll soon be joining Bennett Coleman and the Times Group, India’s largest media company, as CEO of @TimesGlobal!
> At @TimesGlobal, we’ll invest in & partner with world-class tech/media companies to help them realize their India opportunity more fully.
> We’ll build on the success Bennett Coleman & @TimesInternet have had partnering with @uber @Airbnb @coursera @VICE @HuffingtonPost & others.
> India is the world. Every element of the human condition, every wave of civic change, every business possibility exists in India at scale.
> To win India is to win everywhere. No matter your story/cause/business, success in India begets success everywhere, esp in the Global South.
> I’m looking forward to bridging the best ideas from the world’s entrepreneurial centers into India and to sharing insights back to the world
> I’m grateful to be able to draw on my experiences, and those of others, along w/ the unmatched resources of the Times Group to create value.
> I’m from NY so am allowed to quote Sinatra: I’ll make a brand new start of it, If I can make it there I’ll make it anywhere, it’s up to you!
The profile on his Twitter page reads: searching for my treasure. addicted to place. in awe of the untapped power of people. inclusive tech, engagement, storytelling. soon: ceo @TimesGlobal
