IndiaPost Live – India’s first Live Web TV News Conversation channel launched
MUMBAI: IndiaPost Live, India’s first live Web TV News Conversation channel has been launched today. This media initiative opens a new chapter of interactive video journalism through news conversations on a variety of topics. The focus and emphasis on comprehensive interactivity of the people sets a new landmark in the history of Indian media.
In the first phase, IndiaPost Live, livestreams four hours of original programming – 5 days a week – with highlights of past and popular shows during the period live streaming is off. IndiaPost Live brings together diverse and multidimensional editorial resources ranging from professional editors and reporters to bloggers and social communities to individuals expressing their opinions through live video as well as through other modes of contribution and interaction such as recorded video, audio, pictures and text. Each of the topic being presented through live streaming will be open to participants across the globe who can join the conversations via webcams, smart phones and tablets using Skype, Google+ Hangouts and other means.
Thus news debate moves away from the conventional path and becomes conversation wherein everyone has a say in news and its commentary rather than a few dictating what is news and commentary. Through the platform of IndiaPost Live people would get an opportunity in the process of stating news in real time. Higher degree of interactivity within the show screen allows the viewer to click social sharing tools and dynamic links to the related content.
“IndiaPost Live will be integrating live, one-on-one and group dialogues and debates from the community. The news conversations are built around segments spotlighting happenings and ideas that generate maximum attention and involvement, especially from and in social media,”said Mr. B C Jojo, founder and CEO of IndiaPost Live.
IndiaPost Live operates out of state-of-art studios in NCR region of India’s capital, New Delhi. This unique media initiative goes live at 11:30 hours on 31 March 2014 through www.indiapostlive.com. The IndiaPost Live team welcomes all of you to witness and participate in this path breaking initiative.

CNN-News18 to host Fury in the Gulf conclave on West Asia crisis
Three-hour summit to unpack geopolitical fallout and impact on India
MUMBAI: CNN-News18 is set to host a special three-hour broadcast, Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave, on April 7, aiming to decode the escalating West Asia crisis and its far-reaching implications for India.
Scheduled from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the conclave comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are reshaping global geopolitics and triggering economic uncertainty. With India’s deep energy ties, trade links and large diaspora in the Gulf, the developments carry significant domestic relevance.
Built around the theme ‘Conflict, Consequences, and The Future,’ the programme will feature six curated sessions combining one-on-one interviews and panel discussions. The focus is to cut through the clutter and offer viewers a clearer understanding of the fast-evolving situation.
Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
