MUMBAI: Grandmother India Design, Pvt., Ltd (GMI) is pleased to announce the addition of another award for their work with “Magma Fincorp”. The design agency has won the title of “Official Honoree” at the 17th annual Webby Awards in the Financial Services/Banking category for their exceptional work.
The Webby Awards (www.webbyawards.com), hailed by the New York Times as the Internet's Highest Honour announced this year’s “Webby Winners Gallery & Archive” at an event held May 21st, 2013 in New York City.
Speaking about the project that won the award, Cyril-Vincent Michaud, Head of New Media says, “our task was to position online, the Magma Fincorp’s brand as ‘the’ benchmark and to promote the company amongst investors and potential employees. The website had to extend the brand’s services to the end consumer, drive in more traffic to the site and create a wider awareness of Magma in the online medium. The task was also to inform and provide detailed up-to-date information for the company’s target audience. The solution that we conceptualized and executed provides not only an excellent first impression to Magma’s audience, it also conveys Magma’s main value proposition, which is to empower internal communication and provide an online marketing tool to establish a dialogue between the company and its audience.”
The Webby Awards celebrates those developers, designers, coders, writers, marketers, dreamers and boat rockers who make every aspect of the web (no matter how technical) a work of art. Now in their 8th year, they have added new social categories to ensure cutting edge ideas have a place on the table. The awards are meant to honor creative excellence on the internet and recognize the creative and marketing professionals behind award winning sites, videos, marketing programs and mobile sites/apps from all levels of budget and organizational reach.
Speaking about this milestone for GMI, Mr. Pradeep Datwani, Director, Business Development, Grandmother India Design Pvt. Ltd. says, “It’s an honour to be recognized for our contribution to the industry and we are truly humbled by this accomplishment.

Network18 channels lead YouTube news viewership in March 2026
CNN-News18, News18 India and CNBC channels top categories with record views
MUMBAI: When the world hit refresh on breaking news, Network18’s channels were already streaming ahead. As geopolitical tensions and war-driven headlines fuelled a surge in global news consumption, the network’s digital playbook delivered big clocking record Youtube viewership across English, Hindi and business news categories in March 2026.
At the forefront was CNN-News18, which emerged as the clear leader in the English news segment with 130 million live and video-on-demand views. The channel edged past competitors such as Times of India (126.5 million), Times Now (101.1 million), India Today (88.2 million) and NDTV (77.5 million), according to Databeings data for March.
In the Hindi news arena, News18 India delivered a commanding performance, racking up a staggering 3,297 million views on YouTube. The channel comfortably outpaced NDTV India, which recorded 3,119 million views, underlining its deep reach and consistent engagement with mass audiences, as per Playboard data.
The network’s dominance wasn’t confined to general news. In the Hindi business segment, CNBC Awaaz topped the charts with 92 million views, narrowly ahead of Zee Business (90 million) and well ahead of ET Now Swadesh (57 million). Meanwhile, its English counterpart CNBC-TV18 posted a strong 58 million views, reinforcing the network’s cross-category strength.
The spike in viewership reflects a broader shift in audience behaviour, with viewers increasingly turning to digital platforms particularly Youtube for real-time updates and in-depth coverage during high-intensity news cycles. For Network18, the numbers signal more than just scale; they underline the effectiveness of a multi-platform strategy that blends speed, credibility and continuous coverage.
