Mint’s new show ‘Rollin’ with the Boss’ features Oyo’s Ritesh Agarwal
The show explores the fun side of India’s young business icons
HT Media Group has announced that Mint has launched a new show ‘Rollin’ with the Boss’. The show features intimate conversations around perseverance, resilience and ambition with India’s young business icons.
The first episode features Ritesh Agarwal, founder and CEO of Oyo.
In the show, Abhishek Singh, Deputy Editor, Mint picks up a young CEO in a swanky, luxury car from their office, or the airport. He then drops the business leader to their destination, utilizing the drive time for a fun, candid chat. Drive times are often the moment for introspection, thus just the opportune moment for a free-wheeling conversation.
India’s young business leaders are today leading the economy into a new wave of growth, cementing its position as a force to reckon with globally. Businesses made-in-India, for-the-world is the new brand mantra for corporate India. ‘Rollin’ with the Boss’ explores the person behind the corporate veil, so that we may learn from their experiences and perspectives.
The show seeks to understand what really makes them tick - their highs, lows, moments of gratitude and moments of regret. We also ask them for their position on some current topics of debate - such as 70 hr work week for young India, or the current business environment.
In the first episode, Ritesh talks about his journey from a small town in Odisha, his family and his motivations. All with his trademark boyish charm. The episode premiered on the Mint Youtube channel and Facebook page on Wednesday evening.
