Star Plus created a unique moment for its upcoming show TED Talks India : Nayi Soch by creating a virtual interactive session between mega-star & show host Shah Rukh Khan in Mumbai and Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google who teleported from California (Palo Alto) through Beam, a special robot to shoot for the show.
The show celebrates coming together of three powerful visionaries – Star Plus, TED and SRK - in an endeavour to share ideas that will inspire 'Nayi Soch' in society.
Star Pravah channel head Prem Kamath said, “We are looking to target a slightly more upscale audience. We have also altered the broadcast design by bringing in different visual grammar and stay away from the traditional way of storytelling.”
Nitin Kukreja, Head of Sports Business, Star India, said, “We are delighted to have Arise India as the title sponsor of Asia Cup 2014. The tournament is getting interesting traction from the advertising fraternity. We are focusing on monetising the on-air sales while we have partnered with Technology Frontiers to focus on Asia Cup 2014 Ground Sponsorship management.”
Uday Shankar has been vocal about the fact that sports (not only cricket) have tremendous potential as far as viewership is concerned.
