Rajat Nigam to receive broadcast excellence award at BES Expo 2026
New Delhi: India’s broadcast engineering community is set to put the spotlight on technology leadership as Rajat Nigam, chief technology officer at JioStar, will be conferred the broadcast excellence award along with an honorary fellowship at BES Expo 2026.
The recognition will be presented during the inaugural ceremony of the 30th International Conference and Exhibition on Broadcast and Media Technology, organised by the Broadcast Engineering Society (India), at Bharat Mandapam later this month.
BES Expo 2026, scheduled from January 29 to 31, brings together the sharp end of broadcasting, media technology and innovation at a time when the industry is being reshaped by rapid technological change. This year’s theme, Broadcast intelligence innovation: Make in India for the world, signals an ambition to position Indian broadcast engineering at the centre of global conversations.
The three-day conference will feature six sessions led by senior broadcasters and media technology professionals from India and overseas, focusing on state-of-the-art broadcast systems and next-generation media infrastructure. Organisers expect over 1,000 delegates to attend.
Running alongside the conference, the international exhibition will host around 300 broadcast equipment manufacturers, service providers and technology companies from across the world, showcasing the latest products, platforms and solutions shaping the future of broadcasting.
The event is supported by the ministry of information and broadcasting, the ministry of communications, Prasar Bharati, the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union, the Society of Broadcast Engineers (USA) and the Indian Broadcasting and Digital Foundation.
The inaugural session on January 29 will be opened by the union minister for information and broadcasting. Nigam’s award will be presented by the chief guest during the ceremony.
The Broadcast Engineering Society said the honour recognises outstanding contributions to the advancement of broadcasting and media technology, and reflects Nigam’s role in driving large-scale technology transformation in the sector.
As India’s broadcast ecosystem accelerates towards smarter, more integrated platforms, BES Expo 2026 is positioning itself not just as a showcase, but as a statement of intent. And with the spotlight on technology leadership, the message is clear: the future of broadcasting will be built by those shaping its systems today.

GURUGRAM: Hyundai Motor India Limited has announced a nationwide AC check-up camp, rolling out from April 10 to April 18, as temperatures climb and car cabins begin to feel the heat.
The initiative is designed to keep vehicles cool and customers comfortable, offering a mix of free inspections, discounted services and value-added benefits across Hyundai’s extensive service network in India.
As part of the limited-period campaign, customers can avail a complimentary 30-point vehicle check-up along with a free dry wash. The company is also offering a 15 per cent discount on AC servicing, including gas refills, and similar savings on wheel alignment and balancing. Key AC components such as compressors, condensers and cooling coils will be available at a 10 per cent discount, while value-added services like AC disinfectant treatments and plastic restoration also come with reduced pricing.
The camp will be hosted across authorised Hyundai workshops nationwide, allowing customers easy access to trained technicians, genuine parts and diagnostic support without the usual hassle.
Speaking on the initiative, Hyundai Motor India Limited national service head Nilesh Shah said, “At HMIL, customer satisfaction and convenience remain at the core of our service philosophy. With the onset of summer, we are pleased to introduce our nationwide AC check-up camp to ensure that our customers enjoy a comfortable and hassle-free driving experience. This initiative reflects our commitment to delivering proactive care and enhancing vehicle performance through our strong service network across India.”
With mercury levels on the rise, Hyundai’s timely service push aims to ensure drivers stay cool behind the wheel while also nudging them towards preventive maintenance, a small check today that could save a larger repair tomorrow.
