Nasa seeks broadcast partner for digital TV channel
|
MUMBAI: America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) organisation is seeking proposals from organisations interested in a collaboration to create, produce and programme shows for its public information TV channel Nasa TV. The agreement will be for two years with the option to extend five years for a total period of seven years. |

Programming will focus on Nasa-related topics, such as aeronautics, space, science and technology. Shows may include material previously produced by the organisation, or newly created products. Products may make use of the Nasa archives or live special events conducted by, or of special interest to, the agency. Nasa states that it is interested in reviewing proposals from organisations that support its mission, values, and goals, and that would strategically enhance the Agency’s ability to provide information on Nasa’s projects and missions to the public by means of these media.  Nasa is looking for a minimum of 16 hours of new programming per month that is about Nasa or related to Nasa projects in order to enhance its ability to inform the public about its projects and their relevance to them. The partner will manage the content of the new programmes that will be create from a combination of new shows, previously produced Nasa material and live events for a minimum of 12 hours per day. Upto 30 per cent of new programming should be relevant for ages eight and above. All programming is to be free of charge. The partner must also have a full understanding of the architecture for Nasa TV. |

Nasa Television is a resource designed to provide real-time coverage of Agency activities and missions, as well as providing resource video to the news media and educational programming to teachers, students and the general public. The organisation states that Nasa Television’s multi-channel digital format and transmission system greatly enhances its ability to reach educational facilities, museums, and the general public. The partner would work with Nasa personnel cooperatively and would have editorial input in accordance with Nasa’s standards and values. Nasa will offer the chosen partner access to its various physical and electronic archives as part of this collaboration, as well as specialised access for live events or personnel. Nasa states that it may consider negotiating brand placement, limited exclusivity, such as “official sponsor/affiliate” designation and other naming rights, as well as other opportunities as part of this collaboration in exchange for the creation, producing, programming and managing of NTV content for this public channel. All creative concepts from the proposer regarding this opportunity will be considered by Nasa. However, consideration only will be given to those offers that are commensurate with the value of the above, and that reflect Nasa mission, values and goals. |

Business Today MindRush returns to Mumbai, spotlight on India’s edge in a fractured world
Policymakers and corporate heavyweights gather to map supply chains, energy security and markets
MUMBAI: As fault lines widen across global trade and geopolitics, Business Today is doubling down on India’s moment. The 14th edition of Business Today MindRush & Best CEOs Awards lands in Mumbai on March 28, pitching India’s strategic edge at the centre of a fragmenting world.
The day-long summit, presented by PwC, will bring together a tight mix of policymakers, industry leaders and market voices to decode shifting supply chains, maritime strategy, defence priorities, energy security and capital markets—sectors now deeply entangled with geopolitics.
M Nagaraju, secretary, department of financial services, ministry of finance, will headline the event, setting the tone for discussions that aim to track how India is repositioning itself amid disrupted trade routes and volatile energy dynamics.
The speaker slate reads like a cross-section of India Inc’s command centre. Krishna Swaminathan will zero in on sea lanes and supply chains, while Prashant Ruia is set to push the case for self-reliance in oil and gas. Ashish Chauhan will weigh in on capital markets at a pivotal juncture, as a panel featuring Vibha Padalkar, Sanjiv Mehta, Amish Mehta and Sanjeev Krishan debates navigating economic uncertainty.
Leadership under pressure will be another running theme. Madhavkrishna Singhania, Sharvil Patel, Karan Bhagat and Anurag Choudhary will unpack how businesses are steering through disruption. Arun Alagappan will turn the spotlight on fertilisers, Arundhati Bhattacharya will reflect on leadership transitions, while Anish Shah and S Vellayan will outline blueprints for building future-ready conglomerates.
The event will close with Aroon Purie setting the broader editorial lens, before the Best CEOs Awards recognise standout corporate leadership across sectors.
At a time when the global order looks increasingly splintered, MindRush 2026 is positioning itself as more than a conference—it is a signal that India intends not just to navigate the churn, but to shape it.
