The Story in Brief
Ramesh Rangarajan has been elected Chairman of Kasturi and Sons Ltd., the holding company that owns The Hindu Group Publishing Private Ltd., publisher of The Hindu, Businessline, Frontline, and Sportstar. He is the son of the late S. Rangarajan, former Chairman of Kasturi & Sons.

The previous generation steered The Hindu through a digital pivot and market turbulence. Now the test is whether Mr. Rangarajan, whose background is commercial, not editorial, can protect the newsroom's independence while chasing revenue. A pointed question: will the new chairman publicly reaffirm the newspaper's editorial firewall in writing within his first quarter?
