Mint is launching a new off-beat show this month called ‘Rollin’ with the Boss’ which will be a series of quirky, candid, authentic, and fun conversations with young CEOs in India in the back of a luxury car. The hook is that these are super busy people, so the best time to catch them is when they are travelling from A to B (like pick up from the airport and dropping them to a meeting). The show will bring to life the person behind the corporate veil, and help younger audiences form a deeper connection with some of India’s most successful young business icons.
