Travelxp turns up the HD heat in Hungary with Magyar Telekom
MUMBAI: Travelxp is cranking up the wanderlust dial in Hungary, now streaming in high-definition glory on Magyar Telekom. The premium travel and lifestyle network has launched Travelxp HD on the platform, complementing its existing 4K channel and giving Magyar Telekom’s 1.4 million TV subscribers another slick reason to stay glued to their screens.
Located at channel position 85 on select packages, Travelxp HD brings a fresh burst of armchair escapism to Hungarian homes — from sun-kissed beaches and food trails to adrenaline-pumping adventures and offbeat destinations. All of it comes with the added ease of being fully dubbed in Hungarian, making it even more bingeable for local audiences.
“Strengthening our partnership with Magyar Telekom, one of Hungary’s most respected broadcast platforms, is a major milestone for Travelxp in Eastern Europe,” said Travelxp managing director, Europe & Africa, Sumant Bahl. “Hungarian audiences have shown great enthusiasm for high-quality travel programming, and we’re excited to meet that demand with immersive, fully localised content.”
With over 1,000 hours of Hungarian-dubbed programming, Travelxp now reaches over 118 countries in more than 25 languages. The HD and 4K channels operate on distinct feeds, ensuring viewers get a curated buffet of globe-trotting stories in both formats.
For Magyar Telekom, it’s another feather in the cap — the telco now beams over 160 channels (50+ in HD) and covers more than 33 per cent of Hungarian households, making it a natural partner for Travelxp’s growing European ambitions.
From Budapest to Borneo, the world just got a little closer — and a whole lot crisper.

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.
