Economists discuss whether it’s ‘Time to Re-rate India’ on BTVi
MUMBAI: BTVi, India’s premier English business news channel, has unveiled ‘1100 Days of Modi,’ a programming series that will feature various shows and debates with participation from policymakers, corporate behemoths, economists and market experts to take a stock of the government’s performance that are core to the prime minister Narendra Modi delivering on his plan of a New India.
Modi, who stormed into office with a historic mandate, has been an active leader and his decisions need not be assessed in years but days due to his fast decision-making. His strategies aiming to perform, reform and transform have attracted the world toward India.
The first show in this series was ‘Time to Re-rate India’, with Radhika Rao, India economist at DBS, Aditi Nair, principal economist at ICRA, and Sunil Sinha, director at India Ratings, where BTVi questioned the global ratings agencies on why they are deferring an upgrade in India’s credit rating, at a time when the country’s economy stands tall as an oasis of stability in a troubled world.
BTVI executive editor Siddharth Zarabi said, “BTVi is focused on bringing #OpinionsThatCount to news television viewers in India and has consistently taken the lead in offering markets and business-related insightful perspective for our viewers. The latest series will showcase the key policy and economic steps of this government.”

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
