Gautam Adani says his push into the news media, including his acquisition of NDTV, is a “responsibility” rather than a business opportunity. In an interview with the British newspaper Financial Times, the Indian billionaire also claims that he had invited NDTV founder Prannoy Roy to remain as the network’s chair.
“Why can’t you support one media house to become independent and have a global footprint?” Adani asks in the interview, noting that India doesn’t have a single news outlet to compare with the likes of Financial Times or Al Jazeera.
