Mumbai: TV9 Network has strengthened the leadership of TV9 Digital and appointed Anshuman Tiwari as editor of Money9. Veteran journalist Rakesh Khar will assume a larger role as business and economy editor of the network.

Tiwari is a recipient of the Ramnath Goenka Award, the WAN-INFRA international award for investigative journalism, and, most recently, the ENBA award for the best economic show on digital platforms. He is a Chevening fellow and has had brief stints with global media brands like Financial Times, London, Dayton News Chronicle, Ohio, USA.

He is known for his innovative and simple style of explaining complex issues of personal finance, public finance economy, and capital market.

“While language audiences have always been under-served in terms of personal finance, that need gap has only widened with rapid financialisation and digitisation of semi-urban and rural India,” said TV9 Network chief executive officer Barun Das. “Money9 will serve the finest personal finance content in simple, easy-to-consume formats, accessible in multiple languages. I am confident we will deliver on this promise with Anshuman leading the Money9 editorial team.”

Money9 is a multilingual personal finance platform. The platform is currently available in Hindi and English and will soon be available in five other languages – Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, and Bengali.

“After seven fantastic years at India Today, I am excited at the prospect of creating something new in the area of personal finance which has always been a matter of passion for me,” said Tiwari. “I am delighted that I will be able to pursue my profession and passion at the TV9 Network which is a leading platform in the industry.’’
