What began as an initiative to connect
with readers at a more personal level
has now become our differentiator in
the field of entertainment news
H
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

champ Big Show.

get an invite for the event.
Don’t forget there is a lot of

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

big differentiator from our

interview leadership team
‘Need to deploy the right
skills to be future ready’
Ashu Phakey, National Head - Circulation & Business Head - Kolkata, says
the diverse talent pool at HT is an excellent enabler
A
shu comes to HT with around
20 years of experience in
leading Sales and Marketing
portfolios across Retail and FMCG.
He joined HT in May 2013. He is a
Masters in Management from Punjab
University.
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.
I feel empowered in
my role and I think
the organisation is
empowering every
employee
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.
Picture-perfect
moment with
his family
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.

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.
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’
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)
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
14 | October 2014 | BETWEEN US
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) 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.
photo: Thinkstock
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.

industan Times, Chandigarh,
began its journey on April
19, 2000.The team started
its journey as a satellite edition of
Hindustan Times, New Delhi, to
cater to the requirement of readers
in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal
Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and
Chandigarh.
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/

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.

the Circulation function for the entire group. I work at
the Sahibabad Office. I am a Chartered Accountant by
profession, and have a total work experience of 11 years..
What holiday destination did you recently visit?
We visited Kashmir in March this year and it was on my
wish list for the last three years.
Why did you choose this destination?
I wanted to see the amazing beauty of Switzerland
which one can find only in Kashmir in
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.
What were the most beautiful
places you visited/ things you saw?
We visited Srinagar, Pahalgam,
Gulmarg and Sonmarg. We visited
Tulip Gardens, Hazratbal Mosque,
Mughal Gardens and Chashmeshahi,
Dal Lake and the floating market.
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
proper winter clothing, including
heavy woollens. Don’t forget to plan
your stay in a houseboat for a once in
a lifetime experience. It is a great idea
to chose a full package from a travel
agency which will allow you to enjoy a
comfortable and tension-free trip.
What cuisine/ dish did you like best?
We enjoyed Kashmiri pulao, rogan
josh and kashmiri kehwa which are
the local specialty.
Would you visit this place again?
Why/ Why not?
Yes, we would love to visit Kashmir
again and again. It is one of the best
hill stations of India. It is a truly
heaven on earth and a land of dreams.
What would you recommend as
travel tips for this place?
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 Quest for Happiness
HT employees share their musings on life and valuable health tips
The Land Of My Dreams
If I could make one wish and have it come true
I would wish everyone to be happy and nobody to be ever blue
Joy and happiness everywhere
For others people may care!
Kindness will be the world’s religion
There will be no boundaries between the nations
No politicians to divide and rule
People are no longer going to be fools!
No discrimination for caste or creed
There would be enough for everybody’s needs
This is the dream I often see
A society which is violence-free
No place for crimes, no place for hatred
No lives or dreams anymore shattered!
No more bloodshed on this ground
Only love and peace abound

NUTRITION
Eating well is most important for
our body, since ‘we are what we
eat’. 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.
(Based on the lecture ‘Becoming a
Resilient Person’ by Dr. Clay Cook,
Assistant Professor, College of Education,
University of Washington)

For A Greener
Tomorrow
T

an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)
and a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
as a major step towards a tomorrow
through effective treatment of waste.
The ETP is used to treat industrial
waste water contaminated by
anthropogenic
industrial
or
commercial activities, before reusing
it or releasing it back into the
environment. Effluent from the
2
printing press is generally high in
suspended solids and (BOD),
requiring biological treatment such
as activated sludge or up-flow
anaerobic sludge blanket reactors.
The STP removes contaminants
from waste water, including household
sewage and run-off (effluents). It
includes physical, chemical and
biological processes to eliminate the
various contaminants. The objective
is to produce environment-friendly
and safe fluid waste or treated sludge
suitable for disposal or re-use.

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

Marketing’ offering – arQ, marketers
can achieve their goals of maximizing
their digital spends. It uses an

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’.
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.
