Jain said, "In my three decades in TV news and journalism, one of the most rewarding aspects of the experience was the opportunity to work with and train younger entrants into our newsroom. I look forward to extending that experience in this new innings as a faculty member at the Jindal School of Journalism & Communication of O.P. Jindal Global University."

Professor Kishalay Bhattacharjee, Dean, JSJC, said, "JSJC students will benefit immensely from Sreenivasan's experience. Sreenivasan has been a colleague for decades and a comrade in reporting the underreported stories. We have often collaborated on investigative reports and it gives me immense joy in welcoming him to JSJC. We need more and more journalists and truth-tellers to help make sense of what is happening around us. We try to offer innovative, sustainable, market-driven training focusing on niche reporting and new media skills. Whether they report news or write a screenplay or manage communication, we encourage our students to always challenge the status quo and seek truth."
