Ronnie Screwvala : On being an ex media mogul, philanthropy and careers of tomorrow.

Rohinton Soli Screwvala, known as Ronnie Screwvala, is an entrepreneur, ex media mogul, educationist, philanthopist and co-founder of upGrad and Swades Foundation. Brought up in a lower middle class family, Ronnie pioneered cable television, built a media and entertainment conglomerate called UTV Software Communications. He divested the company to Disney for $1.4 billion. From 2013 onward, Ronnie and his wife scaled their non-profit, The Swades Foundation, whose goal is to work with a million people in rural India, empower them, and move them out of poverty. He also co-founded UpGrad, which is an online upskilling education company. Ronnie Screwvala talks about how many promoters hold onto their price while negotiating to sell a part or their entire company, or over extend timelines thinking they should get a better deal. While the right valuation is important, emotions should be left at the door , especially if it’s a zero sum game and you may lose out entirely. Describing his frugal nature as a factor of his upbringing, his marriage and his incredible foundation, Swades, Ronnie Screwvala says he hasn’t really had the ability to invest in friendships and all his friends are his wife’s friends. Matter of fact. Cut and dry. Ronnie style. Ronnie Screwvala talks about the habits of cinema goers changing, the OTT revolution and how Gen Z prefers interactive experiences like gaming. In light of this he says the economics of film making have to change including what is paid to actors . Calling it a crisis, he says creativity is finding it hard to blossom in a tough environment and there is panic and false bravado. He admits it had to get into media seriously again, he would need 2 years off everything to understand the consumer.
