The Real Media People bags ad & sales duties of Spin TV
MUMBAI: It was only a year ago that media veteran Nilesh Thakkar turned an entrepreneur with his media venture – The Real Media People (TRMP). Now, TRMP has bagged the sales and marketing duties for the 24-hours real estate TV channel – Spin TV that is available in Maharashtra, Gujarat and the Middle East countries.
TRMP was launched with an aim to focus on providing media solutions to the real estate sector which is heavy on print and out of home media. Thakkar says that the company’s primary goal was to become bulk buyer with top 10 builders (safe n AA++) of Mumbai and break the rate card along with minimum down payment, full white and no charge to investor with exit clause.
“Due to our top connect with builders we were able to negotiate and break the rate card and got few prelaunch deals with our volume commitments,” says Thakkar, who in the coming year plans to cross Rs 150 crore buying in real estate with 50 additional investors and more than Rs 10 crore of sales for Spin TV.

OpenAI’s Stargate lead Peter Hoeschele exits with two senior leaders
Trio behind compute push set to join new startup amid leadership reshuffle
SAN FRANCISCO: Peter Hoeschele, a key figure behind OpenAI’s early Stargate data centre initiative, has exited the company, according to a report by The Information.
The departure is part of a broader leadership shift, with two other senior executives, Shamez Hemani and Anuj Saharan, also set to leave in the coming days. All three are expected to join the same new startup, although details about the venture remain under wraps.
The trio played a central role in OpenAI’s Stargate effort, an initiative aimed at building large-scale data centre capacity in-house to reduce reliance on external infrastructure providers. Their exits mark a notable moment for the company’s compute strategy as it continues to scale rapidly.
OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement to The Information, “We’re grateful for the contributions Peter, Shamez, and Anuj have made to OpenAI and wish them the very best in what comes next.” The company also pointed to the recent appointment of Sachin Katti to lead its industrial compute organisation, signalling continuity in its infrastructure roadmap.
OpenAI has indicated that it does not plan to directly replace Hoeschele’s role, suggesting a possible restructuring of responsibilities within the team.
As competition intensifies in the race to build next-generation AI systems, leadership changes in core infrastructure teams are likely to draw close attention. For now, the spotlight shifts to what this departing trio builds next, and how OpenAI adapts as it scales its ambitions.
