Although media has been
one of the worst-performing industries in recent
times, Purohit’s businesses
managed to survive in a
highly-competitive environment; some even gained
market share. The digital
business reached nearly
100 million unique users
and Dainik Jagran INEXT
went from a loss-making
newspaper to making profit
in FY20. She was also at
the forefront of launching the interactive digital
tabloid version of popular
Mumbai daily Mid-Day, to
reach out to nearly 100
million readers during
the lockdown. Add to this,
Purohit also authored her
second book—Lady, You’re
the Boss—last year.
