NDS, MagnaQuest forge alliance
HYDERABAD: News Corp’s NDS has announced a strategic partnership with MagnaQuest, a leading customer care and billing solutions provider for the pay-TV and convergence industry headquartered in Hyderabad.
An official release informs that the companies have completed integration of the NDS VideoGuard conditional access with MagnaQuest’s MQSubscribe customer care and billing solution. The integrated solutions create a valuable opportunity for operators to maximise their revenue and reduce churn.
The robust feature set of VideoGuard that enables operators to package content in a variety of ways, in conjunction with MQSubscribe’s ability to bill flexibly for each such option can be a winning deployment option. NDS and MagnaQuest will also co-operate for joint sales and marketing activities in the Asia Pacific region, states the release.
NDS, Asia Pacific VP and GM Sue Taylor said, “NDS is committed to providing open end-to-end solutions that ensure faster and easier integration for our customers. We selected MagnaQuest as a partner because the India-specific features of MQSubscribe make it uniquely suited to the Indian cable TV market.”
MagnaQuest VP (Sales and Marketing) A. N. Vasan said, “NDS and MagnaQuest have ambitious aspirations to serve the customers with an unbeatable value proposition. Both companies have developed world-leading technology, and have deep domain and geographical knowledge of the markets, but also continually strive to improve it with aggressive product roadmaps and a strong R&D team. Together we offer an end-to-end pay-TV solution with a very compelling value proposition.”

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.
