John Brittas, the first impression one gets on meeting this young man is that of a no-nonsense, straight forward and candid person. Sitting in an office that in no way exuberates extravaganza, but is probably the mirror image of his personality, he runs one of Kerala’s leading TV channels. At 38 he is already the Managing Director of Kairali TV. Considering the still so conservative mindset of the people of Kerala that believes that only a mature, grey haired person can occupy the incumbency of a CEO or an MD, this is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement. And this has made people sit up and take notice of this young journalist who has brushed shoulders with the likes of Vir Sanghvi, Karan Thappar and Rajat Sharma.
