NDTV
New Delhi Television is, and has been for more than a quarter century, a pioneer in India’s news television and digital journalism. Founded in 1988 by Radhika Roy and Prannoy Roy, NDTV is today the most watched, credible and respected news network in India and a leader in Internet. From the path-breaking “The World This Week” (nominated as one of India’s 5 best television programmes since Independence), the first private news on Doordarshan “The News Tonight”, producing India’s first 24-hour news channel “Star News” and the country’s first ever 2-in-1 channel Profit-Prime, NDTV has been at the forefront of every single news revolution. NDTV is now primarily an internet company with the flagship website - ndtv.com - India’s number 1 destination for general news.
NDTV is most proud of how its work impacts the real world and how it is using its powerful reach to campaign for and with the people of India. Over 30 years of dedicated and innovative programming has brought into focus a number of social issues ranging from the 7 Wonders of India; Save Our Tigers; the Greenathon and Jeene ki Asha to Marks for Sports; Support My School; the University Sports Championships and the most recent Health4U campaigns on Heart Care, Diabetes, Cancer and Organ Donation, Banega Swachch India, the Road to Safety and What’s your Choice? campaigns. Seen as an honest, unbiased and fearless crusader, NDTV’s sustained and award winning campaigns against injustice and human rights violations have forced apathetic governments to act, legislation to be changed and made the nation aware of the power of the people.
Its channels NDTV 24x7 (English), NDTV India (Hindi) and India’s first ever 2-in-1 channel NDTV Profit-NDTV Prime (Business and Infotainment) continue to raise the standards of journalism with innovative programming and uncompromising integrity.
