NDTV (New Delhi Television Limited) is one of India's largest television production houses. After producing numerous news and current affairs programs including the highly successful "The World This Week", NDTV inked a production agreement with Rupert Murdoch's STAR to set up India's first 24-hour news channel (STAR News, English/Hindi News) launched in February 1998. The parties parted ways after five years and NDTV launched its own channels, NDTV 24x7 (English News) and NDTV India (Hindi News). STAR retained the STAR News brand, but the channel continued in Hindi. NDTV subsequently launched NDTV Profit which focuses on business news. NDTV currently has more than 1,000 employees producing news from over twenty plus locations nationally and internationally.
NDTV has decided to enter into an agreement with Astro Broadcast Corporation Ltd. that proposes to establish a joint venture company to set up and broadcast 24-hour channels in South East Asia.
NDTV 24x7 is available in the UK on the Sky Digital platform, in the US on DirecTV, and throughout other parts of the world, such as the Middle East, through various platforms and providers.
Business process outsourcing company Genpact (formerly GE Capital International Services) and broadcaster NDTV have announced a 50:50 joint venture to offer media outsourcing services to enterprises worldwide in areas such as editing, digitisation and closed captioning.
