A new business newspaper in India being run by former Wall Street Journal deputy managing editor Raju Narisetti will carry content from the WSJ, according to wire reports.
The Hindustan Times would have WSJ branded sections with business news and other content.
HT Media, publisher of Hindustan Times, had earlier roped in Narisetti, a former deputy managing editor of the WSJ and editor of the WSJ Europe, as the editor of the new business daily.
