NDTV India appoints Sameer Kapoor as CEO
NEW DELHI: NDTV India has appointed Sameer Kapoor as its chief executive officer. He moves in from Metro Now, a daily tabloid run by a 50:50 joint venture between The Times of India and HT Media Ltd, where he was serving as the president.
Taking charge of the newly created post, Kapoor’s main task will be to up the ratings of the Hindi news channel in a space that has largely taken the tabloid route.
Says Kapoor, “As the CEO, my task will be to drive the business of the channel and maintain its credibility in the market.”
When quizzed about the change in positioning that the channel would see after his appointment, Kapoor replied, “It’s too early to comment on the changes that would take place. We would take a 360 degree view of the scenario and figure out a strategy that would suit the business and help drive further growth.”
While Hindi news channels have often been under the glare of Information and Broadcasting ministry due to the kind of content being aired, it seems Kapoor has a different feeling towards NDTV India.
“We are the best news channel. We are the only news channel that shows news whereas other news channels are showing ‘Tamsaha’ in the face of news.”
Kapoor had been with Metro Now since its inception in September 2006. Apart form the daily tabloid, he has also worked in various marketing positions with consumer durable companies such as Ray-Ban, Whirlpool and Carrier.

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.
