that is the inside news. ndtv also seems to have reduced the salaries of their employees by around 20%. cost cutting in action in the indian media industry.
Employees should feel happy that they are not thrown out of the company like US companies..........

NEW DELHI: Speculation has been doing the rounds that NDTV might bring the shutter down on its city centric news channel MetroNation, which is currently operational in Delhi. However, the media company has cleared the air saying, that there is no question of a shutdown, rather it will go ahead with its planned launch of its MetroNation Chennai though a date has not been fixed yet.Speaking to indiantelevision.com NDTV MetroNation CEO Rajiv Lulla said, "We know there are lots of rumours doing the rounds with regards to MetroNation, but we are not going to close down the channel. Also our plan to launch the channel in Chennai is very much in progress. We have already hired about 90 people down south. However, we have not fixed the date for launching the channel yet."
NDTV has partnered with Kasturi & Sons Ltd, publisher of The Hindu to launch MetroNation Chennai.
Kastrui & Sons managing director N. Murali added, "We will definitely launch the channel, but we are yet to decide the timing."
Earlier in August, 2008, Lulla had told indiantelevision.com that the NDTV Group will roll out the channel in Chennai by October-end followed by the launch of MetroNation Mumbai by end fiscal 2008-09.
And while, NDTV Group is rationalising costs, the media company has not handed pink slips to its MetroNation employees in and continues to produce programming. Explained Lulla: "At this time of recession like every other company, we are also trying to control our costs as best as we can. But we have not cut any jobs as of now. Also the channel has fresh content on air till date."
MetroNation Delhi has about 165 employees at the moment..

hindustan times has apparently fired 600 workers.

 

[ajuravi007]

But in i think from january around 70000 people have lost their jobs.........

 

[Sushubh]

you are talking about US. companies cannot really hide major job cuts there. media is very proactive. here, as long as a union is not there, job cuts are rarely revealed.

 

[ajuravi007]

Then do you mean to say many indian companies are hiding the job cuts.......

 

[Sushubh]

heh. looking at how satyam hid a major scandal. how hard is it to hide a few hundred job cuts?

🙂

i read so much news on a daily basis.

CEOs in US would make clear statements. we are cutting so many jobs to save this much money per year.

never heard an indian CEO making such a statement. no one here likes bad publicity.

you were right i guess.

70000 jobs lost in one-day jolt Global giants wield the axe

 

[ajuravi007]

Indian always hide the bad things.......:wall:

 

[mirzarocx]

We do have a tendency of sweeping everything under the carpet. The main thing is "do it but dont talk about it".

 

[ajuravi007]

Some were recently i have seen in a news that for the last 3 -4 months around 10000 people lost jobs in india..........:rofl:

 

[mirzarocx]

I am sure they must have. Its just that government does not want it to come out in news because of the coming elections.
