A Bennett, Coleman staff memo yesterday announcing the appointment of Rishi Khiani as CEO of Indiatimes, said the new CEO will report to the “yet-to-be-named” MD and chairman of Times Internet Ltd, according to sources who have seen the memo. TIL chairman is Vineet Jain, who is managing director at Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. Who is the “yet-to-be-named MD”?
The wording of the memo has set off speculation at BCCL and TIL about the post that is being kept vacant.
We reported yesterday that Khiani will likely work closely with Satyan Gajwani, fiancĂ© of BCCL vice chairman Sameer Jain’s daughter Trishla Jain.
A BCCL spokesperson did not comment.
