Industry Moves: Rajat Jain Takes Over As CEO of Mobile2Win
Mobile2win has appointed Rajat Jain as a new Partner into the company, and as a result taken over as CEO and MD of the company as well. Jain was most recently as the Managing Director of Disney in India and before that, the Head of Sony SETMAX. Jain quit Disney in March.
Looks like the founders of the company, Gopala Krishnan and Rajiv Hiranandani are staying. More here.
I know that Rajat was Sacked from Disney. Why you guys making big deal about a looser?
Its sad we cannot give each other some basic professional decency. I guess we forget that what goes around comes around.
I wish all people specially losers, people who are sacked, fired, forced out, drop out etc all the very best and more so them cause they have now the power to change the world….
While we are too comfortable with our big bonuses, big brand name employers and club memberships (our little golden brothels where we sell our wares to the highest bidder)….
you guys will create the next wave create huge wealth and maybe hire a bunch of us to work for you. Hopefully you too will fire some of us to start the cycle again….
MobStir you talking to anyone in particular there, or just talking to yourself?
Anyways, I think Rajat coming in is a good deal. He seems like the experienced CEO that may pour some metal in a company that, let's admit it. is in a struggling sector with no particular differentiation. The mobile operators are in total control of the VAS minnows and squeeze them like anything.
Commenting on the comment before mine and the news.
The minnows need all the help they can. I am surprised that an operator hasnt yet put together a VC fund to start acquiring minority stakes in all these small minnows and helping them grow. After all they will need all the water (content) they can get to fill their pipes (networks). Specially as the pipes look set to get fatter (3G when it comes).
chief,
All of us in the new media should have the sense to not be disparaging about people who might have been sacked or given the pink slip. As anyone who has spent some time will tell you that lots of time these things can happen in spite of best results from the individual.
I think Rajat is a great professional and M2W will benefit from his presence.
