The world has caught scent of the professional disagreement between INX CEO Peter Mukerjea and famous journalist and columnist Vir Sanghvi. Agreed, the two released a joint statement saying that they will resolve the differences in good faith. However, the buzz is that Mukerjea has already started scouting for a new chief executive officer for his news channel NewsX.

The core of the problems lie in the opposite point of views of Peter’s wife Indrani and Vir regarding the presentation of news on the upcoming channel.
Insiders reveal that even the delay in the launch of the channel is perhaps because of the inefficient executives lined up by Indrani. Also, Vir is not being allowed to function independently. On top of all this, Vir’s parting from the channel is still not very clear as he holds a 3% stake in INX News.

Wonder what the true picture is. Only one thing is evident, that the mudslinging is getting dirtier. I guess, we’ll just have to wait and watch for the volley of words between the new baron Vir and his counterparts, a famous TV producer couple.
