India offers a once in a lifetime opportunity

Raju Narisetti, Editor of The Wall Street Journal (Europe) as well as a Deputy Managing Editor of The Wall Street Journal in the United States is quitting his job and moving back to India

The 40-year-old native of Hyderabad, who started his journalism career with Economic Times, where he helped launch its weekend section and later worked at The Times of India in New Delhi, came to the US in 1990 with "$2,300 in traveller's cheques and two suitcases" to do a master's in journalism at the Indiana University in Bloomington. Since then he had never looked back.

"Looking at where India is today and where the business newspaper segment is, it just feels like there is an opportunity to do something new and different, and the idea of doing something in India at this time is tempting," Narisetti told rediff.com in a phone interview from Brussels, the headquarters of WSJ (Europe).
