He was the former head of Times Internet and laid the foundation stone for Web 2.0 in Times with his O2 initiative.
In an exclusive interview he said,
When you have 100,000 people connected through a network, there’s no reason why they should not enter into an economic relationship. For example, I don’t see any need for jobs portals in the future.
His interview is a must read for Web 2.0 and Internet Entrepreneurs.
