Some time back, one of our competitors took out an ad highlighting the fact that they had topped one of the viewership rankings. NDTV had come second that month. But the competition was unwilling to acknowledge NDTV’s growth. So they showed themselves on top, followed by the networks that came third and fourth. NDTV was simply left out of the reckoning. Some in the team were angry. I was amused. It reminded me of the oft-quoted adage: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” NDTV

The NDTV Datafy team mapped the flight path of Air India AI479 to reconstruct the moments when the aircraft briefly crossed into Pakistani airspace during a go-around over Amritsar. Flight-tracking data shows the aircraft remained across the border for about a minute before returning safely. Authorities are now investigating what led to the airspace infringement. #NDTV #Datafy

And this is how we launched the new logo and tagline of NDTV India — Bharat Ka Vishwas. Infectious energy in the newsroom. The NDTV team is raring to go. A new look can inject a dose of adrenaline into the team — but ultimately, it’s the quality of the content that overrides everything else. The next 15 days are critical. Do watch NDTV India and tell us what you think of the election coverage.

Surreal buzz in #Srinagar about the #NDTVSonuSrinagarConcert The first #NDTVGoodTimesConcert live event has become much more than a music concert. For the locals, it’s signalling a return to normalcy in the valley after the dastardly Pehalgam terror attack. An invitation to tourists to come back to Kashmir. Looking forward to Sonu tribute to Mohd Rafi on Sunday, Oct 26. Two local stars Qazi Touqeer and Rauhan Malik will be playing at the SKICC venue. Qazi & Touqeer say they have been yearning to play before their home crowds for years and that the #NDTVGoodTimesConcert is a dream come true for them. The music starts at 11 AM this Sunday. If you can, join us live. If not, do watch the action across the NDTV network.

When a ballerina with a dancing robot met a Bollywood actor who’s a dancing sensation. Pure magic on the NDTV World Summit stage. Except that the Desi-bot was clearly upset that his ballerina was dancing with Desi Boy Ishaan Khatter and not with him. Thank you Merritt Moore for bringing the #NDTVWorldSummit alive with your brilliance and energy. And thank you Ishaan Khatter for being such a sport. Sending good wishes for the Oscar run. Hoping you ace the race.

A few moments from a truly memorable day at Cardiff University — where I had the privilege of receiving an Honorary Fellowship and addressing the Class of 2026 at their graduation ceremony. What made the day special was witnessing the joy, optimism and nervous excitement of students stepping into a new chapter of their lives. My message to them: technology will transform the world around us, but curiosity, integrity, empathy, sound judgement and the courage to ask better questions will always matter. Congratulations, Class of 2026. Cardiff University Chevening Awards🇬🇧 JOMEC @ Cardiff Uni

The Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2026 places NDTV as India’s leading news brand in weekly reach for the sixth consecutive year. What makes this especially meaningful is that NDTV tops both categories measured in India — TV/Radio/Print and Online News. In a world where audiences move seamlessly across platforms, trust and relevance can no longer be built in just one place. This recognition belongs to the entire NDTV team. The platforms may change, but our commitment remains the same: stay with the facts, ask the right questions, and tell stories that matter. NDTV NDTVindia NDTV Profit
