So how many people watch Arnab Goswami every night?

I don’t need to say this. Arnab Goswami is a phenomenon. And we must deepen our understanding of him.

It is incredible how often his name pops up. Every day. At least, among the people I meet or follow. It seems, he has this massive following where everyone is clued into what Arnab has been talking on the Newshour — the people he’s cut to size; the grave issues facing our nation, which he’s highlighted; the flames jumping out of the television screen; the loud, tough talk and the jokes and gifs he has inspired.

Others tell you what. We tell you the ‘So What?’

Read articles that decode the most significant shifts happening around business, technology, startups and healthcare. 1000+ articles for subscribers of the India edition. 150+ articles for subscribers of the Southeast Asia edition. Plus premium newsletters that help you make sense of the world around you.

So much journalism in India is superficial.

Articles are generic, almost cookie-cutter in their approach. And they don’t provide enough context on the issues they cover. The Ken is different. I don’t always agree with everything they say but I appreciate their commitment to publishing deeply reported narratives and investigations. Their reporters find new ways to analyze tech among other industries. And that’s always worth a read.

As entrepreneurs, we thrive on being in the know at all times.

A personal subscription to The Ken was a no brainer. But as startup founders, this isn't enough. Team members also need to be in the know, for everyone handles customer-facing responsibilities and an ecosystem change that impacts customers also impacts us
