Anurag Batra, founder Exchange4media – “The divine hand in TV ratings is leading to ratings losing its sheen”
Anurag Batra is the Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of the BW Businessworld Group and the Founder & Editor-in-Chief of the exchange4media Group. Dr Anurag Batra has been writing on media for two-plus decades and is the Founder of exchange4media and the Editor-in-Chief of BW Businessworld. Dr. Anurag Batra, in his latest article discusses about the TV rating mechanisms that are prevalent in the industry in the present era and how that had changed from the mechanism in the earlier days.
The ratings mechanism in the past has seen manipulation of data manually and there is a worry that this time too there is a similar chance. We need to ensure that the data is not tampered again. The worrying questions need to be answered honestly and in a granular way. “The advertisers and marketers and media planners and media buyers in my view should take the new ratings with a pinch rather than a fistful of salt and also ask more questions of the ratings mechanism’s board”, Dr. Anurag Batra says.
In his opinion, “The new Chairman of the ratings body is a man who is the most seasoned and very respected and someone who can reach out to all stakeholders. He has an envious job, and I am sure he will do the right thing as his intent is right. In the past, the CEOs of this ratings mechanism have been either clueless or in one particular case have been accused of actually manipulating. Walking out of ratings en masse by news channels is an option. However, that may not be an answer to this ratings maze”.
Dr. Anurag Batra analyses that the current mechanism of ratings is muddying the waters and bringing disrepute to itself and all the stakeholders must get together to get meritocracy. “The right practices should be resumed rather than continuing the current way of doing ratings. Someone needs to ask the right questions after all coincidences are not so co-incidental. The divine hand in ratings is leading to ratings losing its sheen. It’s time to bring the credibility and sheen back”, Anurag Batra concluded.

The Business of Defence: New players who have brought cutting-edge capability in defence production – Dr. Anurag Batra enunciates his views
Anurag Batra is a serial entrepreneur, media mogul, a journalist and an eternal optimist rolled into one. Mr. Batra is also appointed by Government of India as the Chairman of an industry committee formed to come up with a vocational training framework for the media, communication and entertainment industry. Anurag Batra, Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of BW Businessworld & Founder and Editor-in Chief of exchange4media Group enunciates his views.
In this latest special edition of BW Businessworld, Anurag Batra profiles exceptional new players who have brought cutting-edge capability in defence production. “The political management of defence is one of the highlights of the Narendra Modi government. It has shown the willingness to use the military as an instrument of statecraft. The defence sector reforms undertaken by it have been the most significant since India’s Independence”, Dr. Anurag Batra underlines. Of great salience is the Aatmanirbhar Bharat agenda for defence production. Outcomes in the defence and aerospace sector could well be the most visible indicators of the success of the Make in India initiative.
According to Anurag Batra, apart from aiming for strategic autonomy in being able to produce weapons indigenously, India now also seeks to leverage the annual $70 billion spent on defence for larger economic good by making the domestic economy the biggest stakeholder in the programme, which is how defence spending through the Make in India prism becomes a public issue. Earlier this year, India amended its Defence Acquisition Procedure, barring routine military equipment imports. The Union Defence Minister will now be required to approve exceptions to this rule in case of critical operational necessity.
“The decision conveys the seriousness of the government’s intent to finally walk the talk after its earlier indigenisation efforts only evoked a tepid response. The Third Negative Import List signals that for the Union government, there is no going back now. The list takes the tally of military equipment barred for import to 310. These lists aren’t symbolic. These include top-end military platforms and weapon systems, providing a $27.7 billion push to the domestic arms industry. To give momentum to the Make in India policy, the government has announced funding for prototype development of 14 major platforms and weapon systems under the Make 1 procurement category that had been on the books since 2006 but were never acted upon”, says Dr. Anurag Batra.
Defexpo 2022, India’s biggest biennial arms exhibition for land, naval and homeland security systems, is being held in this backdrop of heavy policy intervention in the Prime Minister’s home state of Gujarat from 18–22 October. The event merits a moment of reflection on the progress made in India’s Military Industrial Complex, and the way ahead. For this intrepid breed of industrial warriors, success is determined not by the outcome of their campaigns in the Indian market but on the global stage as exporters. They’re not arms traders or rent seekers for global OEMs but developers of technology. They are the harbingers of change in the arms bazaar, Anurag Batra elucidates.
This congregation of the global arms industry is also taking place in the shadow of the war in Ukraine. We offer you lessons from this war. India not only walks the diplomatic tightrope in this calamitous development, but gets to observe the performance of weaponry similar to that of the Russian military in it. Anurag Batra also acknowledged that the Modi government deserves credit for putting an end to a culture of scandals in defence deals. “For us in the media, at long last, coverage of defence is no longer about reporting scams. That’s a good note to sign off on”, he concluded.

Anurag Batra Expresses His Views - Growth of Hotel Industry After the Covid Stricken Years
Anurag Batra BW is a serial entrepreneur, media mogul, a journalist and an eternal optimist rolled into one. Since taking over BW Businessworld, Mr. Batra has expanded BW Businessworld into digital, events and BW communities and has taken into its fold digitalmarket, a leading website on digital marketing, www.everythingexperiential.com India’s leading experiential marketing website and launch BW Hotelier in partnership with hotelier international.
Anurag Batra is also appointed by Government of India as the Chairman of an industry committee formed to come up with a vocational training framework for the media, communication and entertainment industry. Annurag Batra, Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of BW Businessworld & Founder and Editor-in Chief of exchange4media Group enunciates his views on how after a horrid two years, the hotel industry is well on the road to profitability.
At long last a consistent uptick in travel, both domestic and international, is enabling the revival of the travel and hospitality sector in India. With more people travelling within the country, affiliated businesses are seeing a big uptick too. According to Dr. Annurag Batra, this is good news for the tourism and hospitality sector that is among the largest employment generators in India. It is a sector that brings in significant foreign exchange earnings and foreign tourist arrivals are steadily on the rise, with each passing month bringing more overseas into the country.
The latest cover story package by Mr. Anurag Batra and BW Businessworld captures the resurgence of the hotel industry that seems to be jogging back towards profitability after the major lows of the pandemic-induced lockdowns and the resultant closures, lay-offs and financial losses. “For the first quarter (April-May-June), all key operating metrics of the hospitality sector, including the Revenue per available room (RevPAR), Average Room Rate (ARR), and Occupancy Room Rate (ORR), were way ahead of the pre-pandemic levels”, Anurag Batra highlights in his latest article.
The expert also points out that metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi and others, saw record occupancy levels According to HVS ANAROCK, a leading hospitality consulting and transaction advisory joint venture, the ORR and ARR have been able to sustain over the pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of FY 2022-23, indicating a strong recovery. The pan-India occupancies in June 2022 reached the 65 per cent mark (three per cent up from June 2019) along with higher ARR at Rs 5,850 (10 per cent up from June 2019), Mr. Anurag Batra says.
“The report says that the RevPAR also improved 13 per cent compared to the pre-pandemic levels for the month. The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), the country's largest hospitality player with a presence in more than 100 centres, reported its best first quarter in the company’s history. Other listed hotel companies also posted robust financial performances for the first quarter, riding on the back of a resurgence in the travel segment”, Anurag Batra, Editor-in-Chief of the BW Businessworld Group highlights in his latest editor’s report.
Sensing an on-ground turnaround of the hospitality sector, the Union Cabinet recently approved a proposal to raise the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme limit for the travel, tourism and hospitality sectors. In this special feature package Anurag Batra Businessworld Group also spotlight the corresponding turnaround in the business of online travel agencies. Dr. Anurag Batra take an in-depth look at the remarkable turnaround of MakeMyTrip in the last two years and take stock of the company’s growth plans and new strategies. The article concludes with the insightful interview of Dr. Anurag Batra with the Co-promoter of EaseMyTrip that had made a successful IPO last year.

Anurag Batra and BW Businessworld cheer on the ‘Most Valuable CEOs’
Anurag Batra, the Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of the BW Businessworld Group and the Founder & Editor-in-Chief of the exchange4media Group is an entrepreneur, journalist, an angel investor and a media observer. He also an author, TV show host and mentor to many successful entrepreneurs. He is a B. Tech graduate in Computer Sciences, a degree which he acquired before joining Management Development Institute MDI Gurgaon, one of India’s leading Business School.
Behind every successful enterprise are factors like a steady leadership, adequate capital, an effective growth plan and an ability to tackle and adapt to changing market needs. Yet we only celebrate the persona who lead from the front — the leaders — for are they not the helmsmen who steered the ship, even though the crew were accomplished too and the ballast was just right.
In the latest special issue, Anurag Batra BW Businessworld cheer on the ‘Most Valuable CEOs’. It comes after a gap of two financial years, the past couple of years having been among the most challenging for Corporate India. It is a continuation of sorts of the previous two special issues, the BW 500 (issue dated 26 February, 2022) and the Most Respected Companies (issue dated 4 June, 2022) that Anurag Batra and BW Businessworld brought out with the help of their knowledge partner, TechSci Research.
“For all practical purposes, the work of shortlisting eligible companies and their CEOs began with analysing the financial data of the past few financial years. Additional filters and parameters were also applied to showcase leaders who generated value for their companies and their shareholders through the challenging economic environment of the past few years”, says Mr. Anurag Batra on behalf of BW Businessworld.
Based on financial parameters like average growth rate, average market capitalisation and leadership continuity at the top, particularly during the last three financial years, the companies were placed across four categories determined by their total income, namely Super Heavyweight (revenue of more than Rs 20,000 crore), Heavyweight (revenue between Rs 7,500 crore and Rs 19,999 crore), Middleweight (revenue between Rs 2,500 crore and Rs 7,499 crore) and Lightweight (Rs 250 crore to Rs 2,499 crore), Mr. Anurag Batra, Editor-in-Chief of the BW Businessworld Group explains.
According to Mr. Anurag Batra, companies with a negative average growth rate and those that underwent changes in leadership during this spell missed the shortlist of around 150 companies. It must be made absolutely clear that the names profiled and presented are not ‘rankings’ per se. In fact, there are no rankings, but only an editorial selection out of the pool of companies shortlisted by TechSci Research. Anurag Batra also acknowledges that they could not showcase many companies because of constraints of space.
In the other latest article of Anurag Batra, he speaks on the successful culmination of 5G spectrum auctions, which is a major turning point for the telecommunications industry and which will not only accelerate internet speed, but also generate jobs. The Indian arm of the Japanese automobile giant, Yamaha Motors, has undergone a dramatic turnaround under its newly appointed chairman. The health insurance penetration is growing at a fabulous pace in India, but there is scope for more growth in this business, concludes Dr. Anurag Batra.

Now, someone needs to bring Pedro to Indian Cinema. He could play the half-Desi/half-Firangi half-brother of Jimmy Shergill.
I don’t know if I said this before, but like it happens with Freddie Highmore and Matthew Goode, photos don’t do justice to their resemblance. You need to see a chapter of Narcos and Saheb Biwi aur Gangster returns back to back.
Other Desi actors I would love to see Pedro with: Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt (Since they have been in Hollywood, these ones are plausible); Ranveer Singh (Deepika, why don’t you convince your husband to give Hollywood a try? Or even in Bollywood. But boy, they would have a lot of fun working together!); Shah Rukh Khan and Abhay Deol. (Pedro and Abhay as a duo would be particularly amazing).
For directors, I find Anurag Kashyap; Shakun Batra and Prakash Jha to be more on Pedro’s alley of Indian directors. I would be surprised to see him in a Sanjay Leela Banshali film.
#my dudes#pedro pascal#jimmy shergill#jimmy sheirgill#lookalikes#bollywood#deepika padukone#ranveer singh#alia bhatt#abhay deol#anurag kashyap#prakash jha#shakun batra#sanjay leela bhansali#pedro in Bollywood? why not?

Also forming part of discussions was the evolving role of political spokespersons and the need to distinguish cacophony and communication. The first of its kind concept to recognise men and women involved in political life who serve as the public face of their parties, a job that often comes with more than a fair share of criticism was lauded by Dr. Anurag Batra among other attending spokespersons and dignitaries.

Dr. Anurag Batra Discusses Why The Tv Ratings Issue Continues To Rage On
One of the youngest media moguls from India, Dr. Anurag Batra is a serial entrepreneur and a mentor to many successful entrepreneurs. Dr. Anurag Batra, Founder, exchange4media Group and Editor-in-Chief of BW Businessworld, asks pertinent questions on why the ratings issue continues to rage on. In his latest article, Anurag Batra speaks on the unanswered questions about the TV ratings.
“It’s been 10 weeks since the ratings have resumed for individual news channels. Ratings and measurement are supposed to bring order and give a currency for performance and measurement for all stakeholders. However, instead, the ratings have turned out to be baffling and bemusing. The ratings in the current form leave a lot many questions unanswered rather than answering and regaining credibility”, Anurag Batra says. The current regime seems to be taking off the sheen of ratings and raises a lot of questions about the mechanism, he analyses.
The first question he answers is whether the landing pages viewership be counted as legitimate viewership and should this data be factored in while calculating ratings. In his words, “In the past, a certain broadcaster did it and the then CEO of a ratings mechanism allowed the same and the technical board of the ratings mechanism continued to allow landing page data to be featured as ratings, and allowed it as an input into ratings. I, personally, would strongly urge the stakeholders to reconsider allowing landing pages determined inputs as ‘no viewership’ or its weightage be minimised. The advertiser is paying for engaged and real viewers, not accident-bait viewers who are forced to leave impressions on a certain page”.
The second issue that worries Anurag Batra is the fact that news channel owners who rightly stayed away and criticised such practices of landing pages or other not so best practices have started embracing these practices to stay ahead. “Certain news organisations have even embraced professionals who have been mired in controversy and who they were earlier targeting for malpractices. This is very disturbing. We have to have faith and conviction in one’s own content and the process rather than hiring the same professionals that were once publicly accused of malpractices. This is double-spoken and espouses the low morality of some news media owners and their own eagerness to do well in the short term. Ideally, such professionals should have been singled out and side-lined in a formal way. We need to clean up the system”, Dr. Batra says.
The third issue he discusses is with data collection. A lot of employees of a certain data-gathering agency, which was accused of malpractices or at least the lack of any checks and tampering, have joined a new agency that is supposed to protect and gather data. This is too ironic. This shows the lack of oversight and it seems it is so easy to violate data, Dr. Anurag Batra concluded.
