Nov. 25 debut won't include protégé Jimmy Soni, Arianna says

It’s official: HuffPost India—a partnership between the Huffington Post Media Group and The Times of India Group—will launch on Nov. 25. With the number of Indian Internet users next year expected to reach 370 million—200 million of which are middle-income citizens— Huffington Post editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington said it's positioning the company for potentially huge gains.

"It’s a critical market for any global media company," the founder said. "It's a market of incredible growth, and an obvious market for us to go to."
