Malini Parthasarathy appointed as Chairperson of The Hindu Group Board

Malini Parthasarathy has been appointed as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of The Hindu Group Publishing Pvt Ltd. She succeeds N Ram, who stepped down as Chairman after touching the age of 75.

Parthasarathy was earlier Co-Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the company.

At the Board of Directors meeting held on July 15, 2020, Parthasarathy appreciated Ram’s “outstanding stewardship” at a time when the media industry was in turmoil. She said that it was Ram “who always urged the company and the paper to be the best versions of themselves,” and added that this was an important legacy that she would strive to uphold.

Ram expressed confidence in Parthasarathy, who has been contributing to the newspaper in various capacities for more than three-and-a-half decades and has also taken an active interest in the business side of the company. He added that Parthasarathy would succeed in fulfilling the responsibilities that come with her new position.
