@ashwin @dpanjana But if you don't produce news yourself, you can only transmit news produced by others.

@h_tejas @dpanjana They do produce news. The news is crowdsourced anyways. Given the push he is doing on Jio and Retail/Payments platform, this will be the default move forward. I am guessing next is launch of a Hike type messaging platform for Jio.

@Sushubh @dpanjana @h_tejas there you go. There is nothing like it when you can control the channel of information flow.

@ashwin @Sushubh @h_tejas At the moment, RIL has issued a strong denial and said it has no plans of exiting the news business. (Which probably means their exit is very much on the cards.)
