PA Seshan, former Finance and Commercial Editor of The Hindu, died here on Thursday. He was 102.
He began his journalistic career in 1934 in Kolkata, and joined The Hindu in 1957. Known to his readers as “Leo” because of his popular column, Leo’s News and Notes, Seshan continued his column till 1998, when he retired from The Hindu.
Post retirement, he continued to contribute articles for The Hindu’s Business Review section. Besides analysing their performance, he advised several corporates, including TVS group, Ramco, Shriram Group, Sakthi Sugars, India Cements and Sanmar Group.
Born on July 7, 1913, Seshan completed his MA (Economics & Politics) at St Joseph’s College, Tiruchi, in 1933. Affected by ‘Retinitis pigmentosa’, he progressively lost vision. After his retirement from The Hindu, Seshan was associated with a host of cultural and educational organisations.
