Channel 7 installs Beehive’s media technology solutions
MUMBAI: Dainik Jagran has bought Beehive Systems’ suite of media technology solutions for its newly launched Hindi news channel – Channel 7.
The suite of solutions that Beehive will provided Dainik Jagran includes live and ‘store and forward’ newsgathering solutions called live’burst and vid’linkmobile; automated data graphics solution called isle’wiz; digital logging system called Tx’log; and interactive SMS-based solution called mobile2TV.
According to a media release, Dainik Jagran’s ‘breaking news’ objective will be met by Beehive’s digital newsgathering solution called live’burst. Live’burst will connect Dainik Jagran’s bureaus across India to acquire and transmit live broadcast quality video on 2 Mbps leased lines connected to the bureaus. Live’burst transmits video at a latency of less than 1 second, which results in smoother video conference.
Channel 7 COO Piyush Jain said, “As Dainik Jagran forays into the television industry, we wanted to go with solutions that have been tried and tested and are successful. Beehive has created that kind of reputation in the Indian television industry.”
The second newsgathering solution, vid’linkmobile, which is a laptop-based portable system will help the media organisation acquire and transmit video in store and forward mode from locations away from the main bureaus. Vid’linkmobile is a portable newsgathering equipment, that transfers video footage over extremely low network bandwith.
The advanced codec used in vid’linkmobile compresses the video almost 70 per cent more efficiently than other compression standards at the same time making sure that the video quality is excellent. The biggest value addition offered by vid’linkmobile lies in cost savings. The cost of transferring the video from remote locations using vid’linkmobile is almost 80 per cent less than traditional mediums like VSAT, leased lines, etc, as stated in the official release.
The graphics automation solution, isle’wiz, will run a live news ticker for the media organisation. Isle’wiz is a template-based automated data graphics solution that generates graphic templates and integrates them with data sources, real-time. Beehive has also provided the media house with an SMS-based solution called mobile2TV, which is linked to isle’wiz and will provide interactivity to the media house’s sports programmes and chat shows.
Beehive vice-president of business development Ajay Pal Singh said, “We are proud that Dainik Jagran chose Beehive’s solutions for its new television business. We are confident of our solutions to produce the desired result for Dainik Jagran and are committed to giving our client full support and consulting as and when they require.”

Rising Bharat Summit 2026 spotlights India’s global ascent
PM Modi keynotes two-day event with ministers, diplomats and icons in New Delhi.
MUMBAI: India didn’t just host a summit, it threw a coming-out party for a nation ready to own the global stage. The News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2026, held on 27–28 February in New Delhi, emerged as a high-octane platform for ideas, vision and strategic dialogue, uniting national leadership, global policymakers, industry titans, defence strategists and cultural icons under the theme “Strength Within”.
Prime minister Narendra Modi set the tone with a keynote that framed India’s resurgence as a reclaiming of lost potential built over generations. “In previous industrial revolutions, India and the Global South were merely followers,” he said. “But in the era of Artificial Intelligence, India is a partner in decisions and shaping them.” He highlighted the country’s thriving AI startup ecosystem and the recent AI Impact Summit attended by over 100 nations.
Union minister Piyush Goyal (Commerce & Industry) stressed India’s readiness to scale exports and deepen manufacturing, while Ashwini Vaishnaw (Railways, I&B, Electronics & IT) positioned technology and infrastructure as twin engines of growth, especially in AI and digital trust. Jyotiraditya Scindia (Communications & North East Development) revealed India’s ambition to lead in 6G through the Bharat 6G Alliance and partnerships with over 30 countries.
Global voices added depth: former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo called India’s development “self-sustaining” and strategically vital; ex-UK Chief of Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter asserted India deserves a seat at the great powers’ table; and former US Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez joined ambassadors from Norway, Germany and Sweden in discussions on geopolitical realignment, sustainability and defence preparedness.
Other speakers included veteran investor Ramesh Damani, World Gold Council CEO David Tait, Vianai Systems founder Dr Vishal Sikka, DeepTech Bharat Foundation co-founder Shashi Shekhar Vempati, defence experts Rajesh Kumar Singh, Sunil Ambekar, Patrick McGee, Tom Cooper and Adrian Fontanellaz, plus cultural and sporting icons Kangana Ranaut, Saina Nehwal, PR Sreejesh, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mithali Raj, Anil Kapoor and Yami Gautam.
The summit was supported by Jio Financial Services (Presenting Partner), Phonepe and DS Group (Co-Presenting Partners), Pernod Ricard India and Kia Seltos (Powered By & Driven By), state governments of Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand (State Partners), and associate partners including NSE, M3M Foundation and Reliance Industries.
Broadcast live across News18 Network, CNBC-TV18 and CNBC Awaaz, the event reinforced India’s image as a confident democracy and emerging global power proving that when strength comes from within, the world can’t help but watch.
