Some of the most important conversations between nations begin with a better question. How does a country see itself? What future does it want to build? And how does it see the world? Introducing NDTV World Anviksha: Ideas Across Borders — a new global conversation that looks beyond familiar narratives and easy assumptions. Our journey begins in Kathmandu with the India-Nepal Dialogue — exploring Nepal through its own ambitions, anxieties and aspirations, and the ideas shaping the next chapter of India-Nepal relations. Not just how the world sees Nepal. But how Nepal sees itself — and how Nepal sees the world. #Anviksha #IdeasAcrossBorders #IndiaNepal

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 NDTVProfitIndia

“We saw Lord Shiva’s face on the mountain as the water came hurtling towards us.” A group of 60 pilgrims from Tamil Nadu were travelling in three buses on the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. The whereabouts of around 40 travelling in two of those buses remain unknown. The 21 pilgrims in the third bus had a miraculous escape, scrambling to higher ground as the waters rushed down. I met them at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport as they headed home via Delhi to Chennai — counting their blessings, but deeply worried about those still missing. Their extraordinary account of survival. #NepalFloods #NDTV

NDTV 24x7 is now NDTV. But this is about more than a new name or a new look. It is about the journalism we choose to do. The standards we set for ourselves. And earning the trust behind those four letters — every day, with every story. Clarity over chaos. Sense over sensation. Trust over theatrics. Groundwork over guesswork. Substance over spectacle. Reality over rhetoric. Facts over frenzy. Perspective over polarisation. Depth over drama. Grit over gloss. These are not claims of perfection. They are choices we make — and standards you should hold us to. A new NDTV for a new India. NDTV. When It Really Matters. NDTV #WhenItReallyMatters #NDTV

Winds gusting up to 150 kmph. A cyclone closing in on India’s eastern coast. And the threat extending far beyond landfall. Cyclone Arnab is expected to make landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast on Wednesday, October 28, bringing the threat of destructive winds, torrential rain and flooding. But the danger may not stop at the coastline. As the cyclone moves inland, parts of Odisha, Telangana and Chhattisgarh could also face intense rainfall and flooding. So where exactly will Arnab strike? When will the worst of the storm hit? And how will it move across India after landfall? The NDTV Datafy team brings the cyclone’s projected trajectory to life, mapping its movement and showing which regions could be most vulnerable as the storm advances. Watch the storm’s projected path unfold. Stay safe and follow official weather advisories. #CycloneArnab #NDTV #Datafy #WeatherAlert #WhenItReallyMatters NDTV

Can GIFT City become India’s answer to Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, London or New York? A little over a decade ago, much of where GIFT City now stands was barren, riverine land. Today, it is India’s big attempt to build a global financial hub. For this week’s Walk The Talk, I spoke to the regulator, the people building the ecosystem, bankers and money managers about what’s working, what isn’t — and what GIFT City still needs to do to compete with the world’s leading financial centres. For more, watch Walk The Talk on NDTV. #GIFTCity #WalkTheTalk #NDTV

An attack on one woman biker has shaken an entire community. Days after Shivani Chauhan — better known as Sia — was chased and rammed by a car on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road, NDTV went back to the streets with Sia and a group of women riders. My colleague Aditi Rajput Aditi Rajput joined them on the ride to understand what draws these women to two wheels — the freedom, the camaraderie and the sheer joy of riding — but also the intimidation, aggression and risks they routinely encounter on our roads. Sia’s ordeal has resonated far beyond the biking community. It raises a larger question: how safe are women when they claim their space on our streets? A ride about freedom, fear — and the right to the road. #NDTV #SiaChauhan #WomenRiders #Gurugram #RoadSafety

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

Some magic moments no producer can ever script. As Pranavi Urs won Asian Games gold for India, we were watching it unfold live at the launch of Season 2 of the NDTV IGPL Pro-Am — with Shiv Kapur, the last Indian golfer to win Asian Games gold 23 years ago, Leander Paes OLY and Anurag Thakur. Then Pranavi joined us live. A standing ovation from India’s golfing community. A chat with Shiv and Leander. Her cousin sister sharing the moment. And her partner with a shopping list ready. 😊 Somehow, it all came together like magic. #PranaviUrs #IndianGolf #NDTVIGPL

A news brand built over three decades. A media landscape being rewritten in real time. And a moment of change at NDTV. What does NDTV stand for in 2026? What does a new NDTV for a new India really mean? How do you build on the foundations of an iconic news brand while reimagining it for a very different era? What does journalism need to become as audiences, platforms and technology change around us? And where does NDTV go from here? I spoke about all of this — and much more — in a wide-ranging conversation with exchange4media, Samachar4Media and IMPACT. The interview comes out Monday. For now, some things are best left unsaid. Until 7 PM. 👀 #NDTV #LookAgain #ComingSoon exchange4media group समाचार4मीडिया Impact Magazine

At an event packed with stars from Bollywood, cricket and OTT, some of the loudest cheers at #NDTVYuva were reserved for an IAS officer. Tukaram Mundhe — Maharashtra’s Food & Drug Administration Commissioner — spoke bluntly about food adulteration, public health and why we can’t keep blaming “the system” when we are all part of it. His message to celebrities endorsing paan and gutka was equally direct: if you’re asking others to consume it, start with yourself and your own family. The young audience treated him like a superstar. Not something you often see with a bureaucrat. Mundhe in conversation with Meenakshi Kandwal मीनाक्षी कंडवाल at #NDTVYuva2026.
