Business Today rings in new market shows with opening and closing bell
MUMBAI: Markets may thrive on numbers, but sometimes it takes a sharp story to make sense of the swirl. finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman today struck the gong on a new phase of Business Today Multiverse, launching two dedicated market shows designed to keep investors ahead of the curve at the opening bell and right through to the close.
The Market Opening show, airing 9:05 am to 9:30 am, promises a crisp 25-minute scan of overnight Wall Street movements, Asian market trends, and the first stirrings of Dalal Street. With early reads on the Sensex, Nifty and stock-specific triggers, the segment distils the noise into clarity giving professionals a cheat sheet for the business day ahead.
Come 3:00 pm, the baton passes to Market Closing, a half-hour wrap that does more than just flash the ticker. Expect deep dives into sectoral trends, top gainers and laggards, institutional flows and macroeconomic sparks, all explained with context, not clutter. For investors, it’s the day’s financial screenplay neatly tied up before the curtains drop.
Together, the twin programmes expand the Business Today Multiverse, an omnichannel media ecosystem that blends print depth, digital speed, broadcast punch and social conversations. For an audience hungry for credible financial information in uncertain times, the shows are positioned as trusted guides to navigate not just numbers, but narratives.
Calling the new launch a “collab that matters”, Business Today vice chairperson and executive editor-in-chief Kalli Purie said: “What people need most is clarity backed by expertise. That’s where the authority of Business Today, a 35-year-old brand built on integrity and independence from vested industrial interests becomes invaluable. These new shows carry forward our promise to give audiences news that impacts their money, delivered with trust.”
In an age where a single market ripple in New York can send tremors through Mumbai’s trading floors, the launch underscores how timeliness and transparency are no longer luxuries but essentials. By pairing editorial authority with real-time precision, Business Today Multiverse is betting that investors will tune in not just for numbers but for the story behind them.

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
