TVU links Modi summit across 25 sites
MUMBAI: When the world tuned in to hear what India thinks, the cloud did the talking. TVU Networks’ cloud-powered broadcast solutions stitched together 25 venues across the globe for the “What India thinks today” summit in New Delhi, headlined by prime minister Narendra Modi.
The two-day event at Bharat Mandapam brought together leaders and influencers to debate India’s role in the new world order. Behind the scenes, TV9 Network leaned on TVU’s tech stack: Partyline, Anywhere and One, to keep conversations seamless and audiences connected in real time.
The numbers tell the story. Sub-300 millisecond latency ensured smooth exchanges that felt as if participants were in the same room. The entire system was up and running in less than a day, slashing timelines that usually stretch to a week. And uninterrupted HD transmission held steady across international and domestic venues, even when networks were under strain.
The payoff was more than technical. The cloud-driven approach cut deployment costs and complexity while giving TV9 the freedom to focus on content rather than configuration.
“Delivering a truly global, interactive summit required agility and reliability,” said TV9 Network CTO Badari Prasad S. “TVU’s cloud ecosystem delivered both, setting a new benchmark for live connectivity.”
TVU Networks GM south Asia Subodh Aggarwal added, “This shows how our cloud solutions can eliminate borders while reducing costs and complexity.”
By powering a multi-venue, interactive broadcast of this scale, TVU Networks has underlined how cloud technology is reshaping live production worldwide. For global broadcasters chasing speed, scale and simplicity, the message is clear: the future is in the cloud.

Rising Bharat Summit 2026 spotlights India’s global ascent
PM Modi keynotes two-day event with ministers, diplomats and icons in New Delhi.
MUMBAI: India didn’t just host a summit, it threw a coming-out party for a nation ready to own the global stage. The News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2026, held on 27–28 February in New Delhi, emerged as a high-octane platform for ideas, vision and strategic dialogue, uniting national leadership, global policymakers, industry titans, defence strategists and cultural icons under the theme “Strength Within”.
Prime minister Narendra Modi set the tone with a keynote that framed India’s resurgence as a reclaiming of lost potential built over generations. “In previous industrial revolutions, India and the Global South were merely followers,” he said. “But in the era of Artificial Intelligence, India is a partner in decisions and shaping them.” He highlighted the country’s thriving AI startup ecosystem and the recent AI Impact Summit attended by over 100 nations.
Union minister Piyush Goyal (Commerce & Industry) stressed India’s readiness to scale exports and deepen manufacturing, while Ashwini Vaishnaw (Railways, I&B, Electronics & IT) positioned technology and infrastructure as twin engines of growth, especially in AI and digital trust. Jyotiraditya Scindia (Communications & North East Development) revealed India’s ambition to lead in 6G through the Bharat 6G Alliance and partnerships with over 30 countries.
Global voices added depth: former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo called India’s development “self-sustaining” and strategically vital; ex-UK Chief of Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter asserted India deserves a seat at the great powers’ table; and former US Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez joined ambassadors from Norway, Germany and Sweden in discussions on geopolitical realignment, sustainability and defence preparedness.
Other speakers included veteran investor Ramesh Damani, World Gold Council CEO David Tait, Vianai Systems founder Dr Vishal Sikka, DeepTech Bharat Foundation co-founder Shashi Shekhar Vempati, defence experts Rajesh Kumar Singh, Sunil Ambekar, Patrick McGee, Tom Cooper and Adrian Fontanellaz, plus cultural and sporting icons Kangana Ranaut, Saina Nehwal, PR Sreejesh, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mithali Raj, Anil Kapoor and Yami Gautam.
The summit was supported by Jio Financial Services (Presenting Partner), Phonepe and DS Group (Co-Presenting Partners), Pernod Ricard India and Kia Seltos (Powered By & Driven By), state governments of Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand (State Partners), and associate partners including NSE, M3M Foundation and Reliance Industries.
Broadcast live across News18 Network, CNBC-TV18 and CNBC Awaaz, the event reinforced India’s image as a confident democracy and emerging global power proving that when strength comes from within, the world can’t help but watch.
