We gave thunder a run for its money with thundery debates: Kalli Purie at Mumbai Conclave

India Today Group's Executive Editor-in-Chief and Vice Chairperson Kalli Purie, who delivered the vote of thanks at the conclusion of the India Today Group's two-day Conclave Mumbai, said the thundery debates gave the thunder in Mumbai a run for its money.

Addressing the gathering, Kalli Purie said, "Thank you for your raining such a warm welcome on us. I think we gave the thunders outside a run for its money with our thundery debates. The met department had given a red alert for Mumbai. I am not sure whether it was about the weather or the Conclave. It's nice to be back in your bustling city."

While talking about the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, she said, "For us as a group, the election was a showcase of our democratic newsroom. And that is not a claim or an opinion, but a fact. We had the definitive Modi interview for sure, but we also had every leader of the Opposition speak to us from Priyanka Gandhi to Akhilesh Yadav to Sharad Pawar to Uddhav Thackeray to Jagan. It was a phenomenal ride.

"And I think, in this day and age of social media echo chambers and influencer elections, a media organisation that is committed to presenting all sides is essential."
