HT Media Group has announced that Mint 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 car from their office, or the airport. He then drops the business leader to their destination, utilising 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.
‘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,” said the company statement.
In the first episode, Agarwal talks about his journey from a small town in Odisha, his family and his motivations.
Mint has launched a slate of new shows in the intersection of business and life, with a view to capture the imagination of young audiences. The first two titles—The Alt View and Rollin’ with the Boss—are live, and many more are at the edit table.
