Talking about this new programming venture, Shruti Verma Singh, Head, Strategy & Brand, NDTV Prime said, “Over the past few years, more and more youngsters have begun to buy art in India. NDTV Prime understands the pulse of who’s buying and the questions they are confronted with. The programmes are answers to some of those questions, whether it is ON ART which is a glimpse of what’s happening in the world of art, COLOUR MY CITY which is all about art expressions or the latest addition ART INSIDER which gives you an “inside view” of the Indian Contemporary Arts world with Peter Nagy and Aparajita Jain, co-directors of Nature Morte Gallery. What’s even more encouraging are Corporates coming out in support of the Arts, even on Television. We are truly encouraged by that.”

Uma Sudhir signs off from NDTV after 27 years
The executive editor shaped NDTV’s southern reportage for nearly three decades
NEW DELHI: Senior journalist Uma Sudhir has retired from NDTV, bringing to a close a 27-year association with the network.
Sudhir served as executive editor, heading NDTV’s south India editorial operations. Over nearly three decades, she emerged as one of the most recognisable faces of on-ground reporting from the region, with sustained coverage of politics, governance and social issues across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
At NDTV, Sudhir played a central role in strengthening regional journalism within national television news. Her reporting consistently connected local developments to the national conversation, ensuring stories from the field shaped policy debates beyond studio discussions. Known for her boots-on-the-ground approach, she came to represent a generation of reporters whose authority rested on fieldwork rather than prime-time punditry.
An award-winning journalist, Sudhir is a recipient of the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award and the Chameli Devi Jain Award. Her body of work has been widely recognised for its public-interest focus, spanning elections, governance, gender issues, rural distress, environmental reporting and social justice.
