One Life Studios partners with Sanjeev Kapoor’s Turmeric Vision
Mumbai: One Life Studios, on Thursday, announced its partnership with master chef Sanjeev Kapoor’s food content company Turmeric Vision Pvt Ltd. Under the new arrangement, One Life Studios will distribute the chef’s channel FoodFood to audiences across the world.
The new partnership is expected to make the Indian food endeavour global. It will pique the interest of not just Indian audiences internationally but also large non-Indian populations across the globe.
Talking about the new association, One Life Studios head honcho Sidharth Kumar Tewary said, “With the pandemic and its impact on lives, the importance of food and the food business has changed completely. Many professionals having become home chefs/bakers and most homemakers focus immensely on giving their families nutritious meals to ensure good health and safety. In an environment like that, the need to focus on the global exchange of food-led content has become imperative and who better than the original master chef- Sanjeev Kapoor himself! He is a brand to reckon with and the content he and his company create has been followed, appreciated, and trusted by Indians for years.”
Turmeric Vision and FoodFood channel’s founder, Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor said, “The food content and interest has exploded last year and interest in the category has compounded over the months. At Sanjeev Kapoor Khana Khazana and FoodFood, we have been working towards the mission and goal of making relevant, trustworthy content that has appealed to audiences of all ages over the years. As the leading food publisher, our reach extends to digital and TV which reaches national and international markets creating engaged loyal consumers who enjoy our content regularly. We are happy to partner with One Life Studios who will distribute our content globally and make the reach of our content widespread.”
NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
