NDTV Marathi turns one and kicks off anniversary with power-packed Manch in Mumbai
MUMBAI: NDTV Marathi isn’t just blowing out a birthday candle—it’s lighting a bonfire of ideas. As it marks one year of programming, the channel is launching the inaugural edition of its flagship event, NDTV Marathi Manch – Celebrating Unstoppable Maharashtra, on 23 April 2025, at Taj Lands End, Mumbai.
This isn’t your average panel parade. The conclave aligns with two key milestones—the 100 year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the 100-day mark of the current Maharashtra government. A timely intersection of past, present, and what’s coming next.
The event will feature a heavyweight guest list: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, Union minister Nitin Gadkari, Cabinet minister Ashish Shelar, and Civil Aviation minister Murlidhar Mohol. With political muscle and public attention locked in, the conclave aims to provoke, inspire, and perhaps even unsettle.
The NDTV Marathi Manch 2025 promises a mix of keynotes, fireside chats, and panel punch-ups tackling everything from digital innovation to climate chaos, startup culture to rural growth. It will also dig into Maharashtra’s evolving identity in a world that’s moving faster than Mumbai traffic.
The goal?
Build a stage where the state’s dynamic youth, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and cultural voices meet not just to talk, but to roadmap a “Viksit Bharat”.
“NDTV Marathi Manch will not only spark crucial statewide conversations but will also contribute significantly to shaping the narrative for tomorrow’s Maharashtra,” the channel said in its announcement.
As NDTV Marathi completes its first lap, it’s doubling down on what made the ride matter: fearless storytelling, regional pulse, and giving the mic to those who move the state forward. The Manch isn’t just an event—it’s a statement.
