After reigning supreme in news broadcasting, TV9 Network has emerged as the fastest-growing digital news platform over the last six months. As part of its aggressive expansion plans, TV9 Network is further strengthening the leadership at TV9 Digital with the appointment of Anshuman Tiwari as Editor of Money9. Veteran journalist Rakesh Khar, who launched Money9 in record time, will assume a larger role as Business and Economy Editor of the Network.
Anshuman belongs to a rare breed of journalists with an impeccable grip on public-personal finance synergy. He is known for his innovative and simple style of explaining complex issues of personal finance, public finance economy and capital market.
He is a recipient of prestigious RamanathGoenka Award, the WAN-IFRA International award for investigative Journalism and, most recently, the ENBA award for the best economic show on digital platforms.
He is a Chevening fellow and has had brief stints with global media brands like Financial Times, London and Dayton News Chronicle, Ohio, USA.
Money9 is India’s first multi-lingual personal finance platform. It has already become a go to platform amongst its loyal audiences in a short span of just nine months. It was launched with the editorial vision of ‘financialising India’ in the true sense by taking personal finance to extremely under-served consumers. The existing offerings in the market don’t address their needs and are in a language that does not relate to people at the bottom of the pyramid. It is here that Money9 will evolve to its full potential.
Speaking on Anshuman’s appointment, Barun Das, CEO, TV9 Network said, “TV9 Network is India’s largest television news network with the strongest presence across languages. While language audiences have always been under-served in terms of personal finance, that need gap has only widened with rapid financialization and digitization of semi-urban and rural India. Money9 will serve the finest personal finance content in simple, easy-to-consume formats, accessible in multiple languages. I am confident we will deliver on this promise with Anshuman leading the Money9 editorial team. His knack for breaking down the most complex issues of the economy and public policy and how they impact an individual’s purse, are well known. With him, I am confident, we will set new standards for personal finance journalism in India.”
Speaking on his appointment, Anshuman Tiwari said, “After seven fantastic years at India Today, I am excited at the prospect of creating something new in the area of personal finance which has always been a matter of passion for me. I am delighted that I will be able to pursue my profession and passion at the TV9 Network which is a leading platform in the industry.’’
Money9 offers incisive and interactive content that helps Indians channelise their savings into investments. The platform is currently available in Hindi and English and will soon be available in five other languages – Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati and Bengali.
