The channel Anuj is no stranger to the Awaaz newsroom or the world of markets, which have long viewed him as an expert voice for years now. He’s a rare journalist with expertise in the arcane world of F&O, trading of which is the mainstay of Awaaz audiences.” [6]Exchange4media
- In an interview, Anuj Singhal shared his belief that the Hindi language has a larger market share than English, but the advertisers are biased towards English channels. He said
Hindi still doesn’t get as much advertising rates as English channels. That’s again because of your perception that the ones who have spending power are mostly watching English or mostly reading English news and not really consuming Hindi news. Unfortunately, Hindi is still seen by many big corporations as not the preferred medium to interact. They clearly still have their biases against Hindi, maybe because it’s considered an affluent language of the rich or maybe traditionally a language of the CEOs. Many CEOs refuse to do interviews in Hindi for the channel.” [7]Afaqs
