‘Green Shoots in Winter’

Our CEO, Rajiv Verma, delves into the buoyant media landscape and HT's strategy to lead

W

inter is coming, but, interestingly, so are the green shoots. India is entering an exciting period of positive change after a painful slowdown that lasted for around three years. Between now and end-2015 (we will see only three state elections in this period, Jharkhand, Delhi, and J&K), I fully expect the government to embark on a series of reforms – administrative, if not legislative. These will make it easier to do business in India, attract foreign investment, and improve our infrastructure.

A full-blown recovery isn’t upon us yet, but we in the media business can already see signs of one that will come soon. Now that the worst is over, there are three issues I’d like to focus on.

First, how did we negotiate the slowdown?

One of our editors likes to refer to HT Media as a very good bad-times company – which means that it is a company that invariably does much better than its peers when the going turns bad.

I believe our shared values, the foundation on which everything we do is based, are the main reason why we managed the downturn well. They helped address immediate business needs, provided much-needed discipline when it came to capital spending, and ensured good governance – all essential at a time when efficiency and productivity became the corner stone for managing. All our people went that extra mile and did that extra bit to make sure that we did not allow the fundamentals of our business be compromised, thereby securing our long term future.

Our businesses and leaders collaborated, making it possible for young businesses such as Radio, Digital, Education and Mint to continue to get much needed capital, which was provided by our core and mature businesses.

The result: our future growth engines are purring and will soon propel us forward. Despite the slowdown, we placed a big bet on out digitalization effort, embarking on a process of building three-integrated-newsrooms within one larger whole that will make it possible for our content to be available anywhere, at any time, and on any device.

Second, what are we doing to stay ahead of our rivals?

The media industry is changing. Technology is altering the behaviour of our customers (both the people who

“consume” content and those who “buy” audiences). Business models are evolving, and morphing by the day.

Even when things turn for the better (which has already begun to happen), it is unlikely that all the money that was being spent on traditional media in the glory years before the slowdown will come back. Ours is a business with a high fixed cost, and it is imperative that we find ways to offset what we lose in old media, in new media.

News and content are already being consumed in a continuum – think tweets, facebook posts, blog posts, niche sites, video clips, apps, newspapers, TV programmes – with consumers dipping in whenever they feel like or want to, and in a variety of ways that range from reading papers to seeing videos on their tablets to aggregating content on mobiles through Flipboard or some other app.

To survive, and, indeed, to thrive, all of us are going to change our definitions of what constitutes content. If we don’t, someone else will.

We rode the last wave in print by recognizing the importance of regional language newspapers, and I am convinced we will ride the next by recognizing the opportunity of, and making investments in Digital.

Finally, how can each of us contribute?

How do we, individually and collectively, make our company a visionary one, a great place to work. I believe we can do this only if we: 1. Hire smarter people than ourselves 2. Control expenses with an iron hand and an eagle eye 3. Make decisions based on our framework of values 4. Pollinate our businesses with growth ideas 5. Remember our industry is cyclical and stay lean and mean.

6. Never lose sight of the fact that we are in a “creative” business and strive to stay ahead of others on this dimension.

I approach the end of this calendar year, 2014, with much more hope than I did its beginning. We have already begun planning for the next three years which are as critical to the company as they are to the country.

Only then will be ready to reap the fruits of the economic growth India will see in the years ahead.

T City’s flagship property – Stars in the City (SITC) – completed its first very successful year in August.

Looking back, we are all very proud of how far we have reached with about 35 SITC events, attended by more than 100 Bollywood stars, sports icons, et al. These include Bollywood actors such as Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, and Ranbir Kapoor; cricketers Virender Sehwag and Brett Lee; lyricist Gulzar; singer Shafqat Amanat Ali, and international WWE champ Big Show.

The exclusive interaction is reported extensively in the HT City, on our social media pages and the videotaped session is also uploaded on YouTube by HT Online team. The HT City editorial and marketing team works actively with the Fever 104 team that promotes the property on air, apart from interviewing stars in their studios. The stories get an overwhelming feedback in the form of emails, tweets and online hits from readers. What’s more, the star performers of our media and marketing team also get an invite for the event.

Don’t forget there is a lot of sweat-work that goes into making every star-studded SITC a success. From coordinating with the stars, to selecting the readers from several mails, to arranging the right security and others logistics – without compromising on our daily production work—it tests our patience and endurance. And we are proud of the fact that SITC is the first ever such initiative by any media organization and a big differentiator from our worried competition.

interview leadership team

‘Need to deploy the right skills to be future ready’

The company believes in empowering its employees, something I love about HT

Ashu Phakey, National Head - Circulation & Business Head - Kolkata, says the diverse talent pool at HT is an excellent enabler

How different is working in a media house from an MNC? Working in the media industry gives us the ability to influence mindsets and bring about socio-economic changes, which distinguishes it from any other industry. It is also a highly matrixed environment with two different constituents – the reader and the advertiser – both needing to be addressed, unlike other industries.

What do you love about HT as an organisation?

The talent pool at HT is quite diverse. It works as an excellent enabler and creates a challenging and competitive work environment. The company believes in empowering its employees which instils a sense of ownership and

orientation towards delivery, something I love about HT. How do you connect with your teams to create a win-win for all?

The Circulation function entails operational excellence and can be physically demanding. Hence individuals need to be constantly pushed and motivated. I try and connect with my teams at both personal and professional level to empathise with them and guide them in case they face any complexities.

I calendarise my reviews to have monthly meetings at all key locations, review performance, brainstorm on ideas, and ensure that good ideas get recognised and are shared.

What is a perfect work day for you?

A perfect work day for me is when I can get my teams to think different, try something new, question the status quo, and push their boundaries.

Share a challenging moment at work.

At my last company, we had to evolve, package and download the organisation’s vision and values to more than 10,000 employees across various geographies and functions. It was a mammoth project which lasted over 15 months. In the end, it was a truly rewarding experience.

Picture-perfect moment with his family

What do you think needs to be changed at the organisation?

We need to do a lot more in the area skill development to equip ourselves to succeed in the rapidly changing environment. We need to embrace change, acquire and deploy the right skills, and create new industry benchmarks to be future-ready.

In your opinion what are the qualities of a good leader nowadays?

The core qualities of a good leader would be to identify talent, ability to articulate tasks and vision, and ability to align teams with the overall vision.

A great leader needs to be highly adaptable and open to learning.

What keeps you inspired every day?

A combination of physical and mental exercise keeps me inspired and energised! Starting my day with a rigorous swim or jog, and finding time to read so as to keep abreast with new ideas, helps give a wider perspective to business and everyday living.

Rapid fire Which is your favourite season?

13 weeks of winters in Delhi What makes your day?

Appreciation from colleagues and seniors What quality in people upsets you?

Hypocrisy and attention seeking behavior If you could change one thing about yourself?

Introspecting too much What is more important: destiny or hard work?

Hard work has always paid for me Who do you rely on the most?

My wife Minoo is my emotional anchor What music do you like in your car when you are on the move?

Country classics by Kenny Rogers, Abba, etc., and Bollywood oldies by Kishore, Rafi, and Lata

Who do you go to when you need advice?

I go by the Punjabi saying ‘chaar yaar hone chayide hai : ek uchcha, ek suchcha, ek luchcha, ek jundelian da yaar’. It means one friend who has status and wealth, one who is righteous and a conscience keeper, one who is a loyalist and willing to fight for you, and one who is a childhood friend and knows everything about you. I am fortunate to have all four in my life, who I can go to when required.

Tell us about one leader who you admire and why.

I was quite in awe of Lance Armstrong before his fall from fame.

One of my personal heroes who I truly admire is my father-in-law, the son of a vegetable vendor who rose up in life through self-education and scholarships, and retired as head of European Studies at JNU. He is an epitome of humility and discipline, and has a big heart.

One incident from your childhood that you can’t forget…

I was selected as the Pupil Leader in Class 8 and needed to take my oath on stage at assembly time. I had terrible stage fright, so I requested the principal to allow me to read it out. I was not allowed to, and ended up memorising it. I stumbled a little, but did it nonetheless.

coffee with the leader

‘Let’s power a digital transformation’

T

his is a unique employee engagement initiative where HT leaders interact with employees over a cup of coffee. The hour-long session begins with the leader talking about his role and responsibilities, followed by Q&A with employees. The latest session on July 18, 2014 was with Jai Menon, Group Director Technology. Given below are some excerpts.

Let me share a simple leadership model that I have embraced – the ‘SPV’. Here, S stands for a combination of strategy and execution, P stands for people, V stands for values and culture. It is about thinking strategically and ensuring flawless execution. It is about your ability to work with people, inspire them, create a stimulating work environment, and back it up with core values and culture.

Now, a bit about my background. I am a Delhiite, went to Springdales School, Pusa Road, and then joined IIT, Delhi. I then went to the US where I lived for 16 years and then returned to India, and have been here for the last 12 years. With a thoroughly grounded childhood, the only way to potentially progress was to do well in academics, and that drove my focus to do well at IIT and then pursue a doctorate at Cornell University.

I am a technologist at heart and all my career experiences have had

Jai Menon, Group Director - Technology, shares how transformation holds the key to the future at HT, with a synergy of SPV (strategy/execution, people, and values/culture) technology right at the centre. I joined HT in January 2014, and among several initiatives, my main focus is currently on ‘Project Butterfly’ an integrated newsroom transformation into a strong print plus digital formation.

Q: We hear a lot about digital coming up in a big way. Does that mean print will go down?

Our print business has a strong and long runway ahead of it. Today it is growing, especially with a strong vernacular leadership, and this presents a unique opportunity to prepare digital as a layer on top of it.

For India, digital is largely ‘mobile first’. The mobile is being powered by breakthroughs both in devices (smart phones, phablets, tablets, wearables) and networks (3G, 4G). This allows for not only breaking news, but also rich media, especially video. In addition, this lends to a strong social experience.

Digital experiences are a unique combination of ‘content’ and ‘software’.

On top of it, technology today allows us to know location and profile, which powered by big data and analytics allows ‘context’ to be wellcaptured and communities to be well-knit. This leads to potentially interesting ways to deliver and consume content. All of this in turns provides options of triggering different business models (beyond traditional display ads), including content monetisation and effective lead generation for e-commerce.

Print complements these experiences by providing deep analysis and in-depth understanding … and simply speaking, we want both.

Q: How are we going about transforming our news business?

You may have read our CEO’s article in the previous edition of Between Us on ‘Project Butterfly’. The project has three elements to it.

First is the human element, which is changing the editorial approach to be ready for print and digital. Second is the technology element where we are bringing in a brand new content management system with strong video, social and mobile capabilities into HT. We will also be upgrading Mint with another instance of the new system. Simultaneously, we are working on a digital roadmap for HH. Third is the workspace element where we are transforming the entire first floor of HT House into a worldclass newsroom ... you will not even recognize it by Diwali next year. Significant changes will be visible over the next 12-18 months, and this will pave the way for an exciting business over the next 2-3 years.

Q: What are some of the other areas where technology will play a role?

We need to be in a position to offer compelling and easy-to-use mobile apps for all our

XFM SPV First Principles it is all about the confluence of content and software with context

businesses. To this end, we are building an ‘app foundry’ that will give us in-house capabilities to leverage technology – both back-end and device-side.

Technology provides interactive experiences allowing consumers to choose what they want to do. This is quite the opposite of passive experiences on TV, leading to opportunities where digital video can be extremely powerful. We need to exploit the value of technology for both content and advertising, and steer the way towards newer market behaviors and monetisation, supported by analytics and data.

Simultaneously, we are also readying our back-end for the new digital world through the introduction of a hybrid cloud infrastructure – for seamless and elastic compute, storage and network. This will deliver a better response time from our systems, will be reliable 24x7, and provide capacity to handle spikes (such as what we experienced during election results).

We will need to iterate different revenue models and be prudent at cost innovation to create the right balanced set of levers for a profitable business in the new world. We have the opportunity to do all of this on top of a solid foundation of our print business. Herein lies the excitement for all us – to be part of a digital transformation journey towards our 2020 vision.

With 14 years of work, the edition has become a formidable force to reckon with in the region and has beaten arch-rival, The Tribune, in circulation in the tri-city of Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali and the mainstay of this edition is Punjab.

Besides the main edition, the daily supplements of HT Chandigarh and HT Ludhiana and five editions of HT City are also made by the editorial team in Chandigarh/Mohali. The editions are printed in our Mohali and Jalandhar printing centres.

What is the winning mantra of Team Chandigarh?

The winning mantra is a strong team that believes in an open work environment and forward planning from ideation to execution. We have initiatives such as ‘Journalist of the Month’ and Editor’s Excellence Award for catchy headlines/

captions/hard-hitting reports to motivate the team. Assistant editor Navneet Sharma, deputy news editor Vikramdeep Johal and assistant news editor Aarish Chhabra have been awarded the journalist of the month awards for initiative and diligence in handling special projects, particularly during the recent parliamentary elections.

Colleagues in the field, including Vishal Rambani and Sanjeev Verma, have been felicitated for their groundbreaking reports on scams involving ministers and exposed corruption in the judiciary.

Photographers Gurpreet Singh and Bharat Bhushan have bagged the editor’s commendation.

What makes you proud to be part of HT Chandigarh?

HT Chandigarh is a young team yet it has stayed ahead of the competition and this makes the team proud. We were the first daily to invite the Lok Sabha candidates for a face-off on one platform.

Travel Time

Kashmir Heaven on Earth

Amit Gupta, AGM - Commercial, shares his experiences on a recent family holiday

India. I always wanted to experience snowfall instead of rains, which is not possible in Delhi. This, coupled with an airlines offer, made it easy for me to decide quickly.

Who all joined you for the vacation?

My wife, Nidhi, and my daughter, Avni, joined me on this 5 nights and 6 days trip.

M

y name is Amit Gupta. I am associated with HT Media since August 2013 as Assistant General Manager - Commercial with the Circulation function.

We found Baisaran, which is known as mini Switzerland at Pahalgam as the most scenic place with snow clad mountains. We traveled from Tangmarg to Gulmarg in chained vehicles which was quite surprising. Gondola ride is also a famous activity which one must do in Gulmarg.

We also saw saffron fields and Avantipura temple enroute from Srinagar to Pahalgam.

Don’t forget to plan a houseboat stay for a once in a lifetime experience

The best season to go to Kashmir is the winters between Dec-Jan when one can enjoy snowfall in the valley.

Elderly people and pregnant women should avoid going there during this period as it can be tedious to walk in the snow. You will also need to carry

What are the must-buy souvenirs from this place?

Go for pashmina shawls, embroidered suits, lush carpets, and houseboat miniatures, which are good souvenirs from the valley.

Share a memorable moment from your trip.

We reached Gulmarg when all roads were covered with heavy snow, and we had a tough time finding our way. We slipped, slid down, and finally reached the hotel. This was definitely the most memorable moment of our trip.

A balanced diet improves general health, and we must include more healthy foods in our diet, avoid unhealthy and processed foods, and limit our intake of salt and sugar.

SLEEP Proper sleep is a great booster that improves the immune system, information processing speed, level of concentration, and overall mental and physical health. The quality of sleep is more important than the total number of hours a person sleeps. Insufficient sleep is one of the most common reasons for most health problems across rapidly growing societies, leading to high stress levels.

LEISURE AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES Fun activities such as sports, games, music, travel, art, reading, dance, etc. not only feel good, but also do us good. They reduce negative emotions such as anxiety and worry, and foster feelings of happiness and joy.

TAKING TIME OUT FOR RELAXATION AND HOBBIES Reading a comic, listening to invigorating music, getting a soothing massage, taking a warm bath, meditating, and comfort activities like cooking or gardening help nurture positive emotions and eliminate stress.

DIGITAL QUOTIENT NEW DELHI

Audience Marketing At Its Best!

oday the challenge for digital marketing is to adapt the strategy to the ever-evolving consumers whose digital footprint is rapidly changing.

In each day of a consumer’s digital life, the person faces multiple interconnected touch points including social, mobile, web, videos and e-commerce. The idea is to personalise the digital marketing experience to the extent that the relevance of content is so high that conversion and revenues get impacted effectively.

The need of the hour is a dynamic platform to engage and measure performance across these mediums in real time and optimizes the digital

spread of a brand basis customer movement and not basis the inventory.

Digital Quotient identified this gap and created a unique platform, arQ.

arQ: Targeted Marketing for Better Revenue With Digital Quotient’s ‘Audience Marketing’ offering – arQ, marketers can achieve their goals of maximizing their digital spends. It uses an intelligent combination of big data technologies on data from social, web and mobile platforms. The methodologies allow for aggregating and analyzing data from a combination of publicly available, proprietary and

arQ offers more than 30,000+ audience buckets, creating an ecosystem of ‘audience buying’

client specific information, to identify and enable a dynamic sub segment of consumers aligned to client needs. arQ offers more than 30,000+ Audience Buckets for marketers to choose from. These audiencemarketing buckets thus create a new ecosystem of ‘audience buying’.

he Patna office celebrated the 28th anniversary of Hindustan on August 25 with lots of fun and festivities. The anniversary cake was cut by Rajkumar Tamang who has been with the company for 23 years.

Dr. Tirvijay Singh, Senior Resident Editor, Hindustan, dedicated the No. 1 position of Hindustan in Bihar to the entire staff, while Mammon Mathew, Senior Resident Editor, Hindustan

How does arQ work? arQ’s reaches the right audience, with the right message, at the best cost, and eliminates the guesswork and media spillover of the traditional approach.

arQ is audience focused arQ is a strong data management platform which collates, combines and analyzes strong first party data and audience behavior data from credible third party sources working on three key principles: Intent (any consumer action on any digital device that concurs an ‘intent’ of a future action), Behavior (consumer’s digital content consumption behavior), and Recency (a time stamp to identify the recency of a particular action).

At the core of every marketing platform is the promise of a better ROI. arQ provides real results.

Industries including travel, e commerce and application downloads are adopting this integrated and targeted approach globally and Digital Quotient is now keen to pioneer this approach for other brands as well.
