Ashish Kashyap Gets Going At MIH; Arunava Sinha Is Head Of Content
So Ashish Kashyap has already started hiring for MIH in India . His first prized catch is Arunava Sinha, who recently quit as the Executive Editor of India Today magazine. Sinha has been appointed as Head of Content and Services, MIH. He was the editor of Indiatimes before he joined India Today. He was also the editor of Indya.com during the internet gold rush, and a long time deputy editor of Business Today.
Sinha’s appointment shows that MIH is going to have a strong content play in India. MIH is part of the multinational media group Naspers Ltd. Kashyap had recently moved to MIH after little over a year’s stint at Google India as its India sales head.
Kashyap tells exchange4media about what he wants to do: -
Kashyap rise in the new media businesses can be attributed to his street smart sales skillsets, despite his known shortcomings as being a poor people manager coupled with his superficial understand of the medium itself, which some in the industry believe, was also the reason for his short stint at Google India!!
Well it will be interesting to see how things shape up at MIH for him…..
