Headlines Today to recap the year in unique style
MUMBAI: While every channel prepares to recap the events on the past one year as part of their year-end programming strategy, Headlines Today has its eyes set on the future. The channel will not just recap the happenings of the previous year but go a step further and analyze the various trends and their bearing on the future.
Since 24 December, Headlines Today has been airing various five-six minute capsules on the major trends that have emerged across politics, business, sports and entertainment. On 31 December, the channel will put together a one-hour special programme at 7 pm called Back to the Future, which will be aired from the projector room of PVR. The idea is to showcase the special programme as a movie. This novel programming idea will discuss all the major trends that emerged in 2004 and their potential impact on the future.
2004 has been a remarkable year for Headlines Today. The format of the channel has caught on with the young urban viewers. Headlines Today began the year with a weekly reach of 2.8 million. In week 51, the channel has a weekly reach of over 10 million. This is a whopping growth of around 260 per cent, said an official release from the channel.
As per the latest Tam data, Headlines Today has an all India market share of 34 per cent, just 1.8 per cent behind the leader, added the release.

Paras Health launches #ProudWomenOfIndia campaign
Over 500 women share inspiring stories of courage and resilience.
MUMBAI: Paras Health just turned Women’s Day into a mic-drop moment because when real women step up to share their stories, even the hospital starts applauding. Paras Health has launched #ProudWomenOfIndia, a powerful Women’s Day 2026 campaign celebrating women who chose themselves and took bold steps to shape their lives while inspiring others. The initiative invited women across India to share defining moments changing careers, stepping away from limiting situations, prioritising health, starting anew or standing up for themselves through a digital form and social media.
Over 500 women from diverse backgrounds doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, social workers and professionals participated, sharing deeply personal journeys of resilience and transformation. Many highlighted how their choices not only changed their own paths but uplifted families and communities.
Key stories include Keya Sen from Patna, who rebuilt her life after losing her father days before her wedding and her husband while raising a young son. From corporate roles to a tea cart business and baking during the pandemic, her reinvention shows how adversity can fuel opportunity. Jatinder Pal Kaur from the Tricity region stepped away from business due to health issues, pivoting to social work and NGO collaborations to drive community change.
The campaign kicked off with “The Way She Thinks” at Fabindia’s Vasant Kunj centre, where Dr Kanchan Kaur (senior director, Breast Cancer, Medanta Gurugram) spoke on early breast cancer detection. Awareness cards with QR codes linking to doctor-led videos were distributed, and outreach will extend to Fabindia’s artisan communities.
Activations across Paras Health units include health camps, talks, storytelling sessions and felicitation ceremonies honouring women whose journeys reflect courage and impact.
Paras Health GCOO Vineet Aggarwal said, “Women play a crucial role in shaping families, communities, and the nation. Through #ProudWomenOfIndia, we wanted to create a platform where women can share their inspiring journeys and celebrate the moments when they chose themselves.”
In a world quick to celebrate women once a year, Paras Health quietly reminds us that the real tribute is listening every day because when women’s stories are heard, the whole country grows stronger, one brave step at a time.
