Unpopular opinion

There is no dire need of @republic Kannada channel. If at all someone is thinking

@republic should rather invest energies in Malayalam, Telugu Tamil channels where MSM has no space for nationalist ideas

@surnell @venkatesh_rvk14 @naanu_sheeku

Arnab should open JOURNALIST schools like how Anupam Kher runs drama schools

That will be a greater contribution than spreading himself way too thin

@SocialSlack @MoolaNakshatra @BrDeshpande @Hemantha_uvacha your opinion?

Although we need an international channel from India

But you need a rich man with deep pockets willing to go global in media

I can think of only Ambani who can decide to go international

IPL is one such experiment

Good vision but 10 years too early

I can see Ambani investing in such a venture when India gets a UNSC seat

India should become a major stakeholder like China to have an international presence

Otherwise it doesn’t quite make sense to go @republic global

It is directly related to how soon we can become developed

End of the day - it’s a very good dream for a business to think to go global

Absolutely everyone should have it

This is what B schools teaches you to dream big - Big hairy audacious goals(BHAG)

Only trouble is - there is no market

There is no demand

What’s the point in setting up a studio each in NY, London, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Dubai, HK, Sydney, J’Burg ???

Then what should he do?

For the best interests of @republic

Arnab has to work with India & make sure he covers UNGA etc & develop a network & get to a point where India is part of UNSC

can’t be trolling Thackerays if he wants to go global

can’t be opening regional channels & going global same time

From an investor perspective

Arnab is the face of @republic

Brand is ARNAB

Which means it’s a SPOF (single point of failure)

He needs to slowly take a back seat & allow others to take centre stage

But at the peak of his career he wouldn’t want to stop what he is doing

I know this is an UNPOPULAR OPINION but as they say in SHARK TANK

FOLLOW THE GREEN NOT THE DREAM
