Indian Billionaire, Gautam Adani has now come to be the Biggest Shareholder in NDTV

Indian conglomerate Gautam Adani’s stake in NDTV has increased to more than 37% by an open offer. Adani group has now become the biggest shareholder in one of India’s most renowned news broadcasters.
Last week Adani attained a stake of about 29.2 percent in NDTV after buying a company that was endorsed by the news channel’s founders Radhika Roy and Prannoy Roy, who own 29.2 percent stake in NDTV. Soon after Adani’s acquisition into the company, the channel’s senior executive editor, Ravish Kumar resigned from the company. For Adani, the takeover of NDTV is a responsibility rather than a business move and therefore has invited annoy Roy to remain as the chairperson when the acquisition is done. Prannoy Roy is the chairperson of the company while his wife Radhika Roy is an executive director. Gautam Adani aims to make NDTV an international media group. If the offer of continuing as the chairperson is not accepted, then, Adani group will get the complete right to hire a new chairperson.
