Rajdeep

Rajdeep Sardesai, the icon of NDTV, has announced today that he is putting his papers. He has also been quoted as saying its anti-incumbency and drive to start something own that are throwing him out and that there are no hard feelings towards NDTV or anyone there. Rajdeep has been a great reason by NDTV's roaring success and his knack of handling biggies won him rave reviews. Big Fight was one of his success stories on NDTV.
It is also being speculated that Rajdeep is on plans to go on his own by launching a channel in collaboration with TV 18. Raghav Bahl of TV 18 and Sameer Manchanda of NDTV would help him out in matters of the new channel.
TV 18 is a channel to be floated by Bennett Coleman&Co, with inputs from Reuters which tentatively would hold a 26% stake in it. Bennet Coleman is the same group associated with Times Of India. Probably, this should improve TOI's quality too. TV 18 already has ties with CNBC and also runs a Hindi channel, Awaaz.
All in all, while Rajdeep explores newer arenas, its for people like us his fans to wait and watch for more action from the idol.
