Mumbai: In a strategic editorial move that promises to redefine how sports is covered in the country, NDTV has announced the appointment of Boria Majumdar as Consulting Editor – Sports. Widely regarded as one of India’s most credible and influential sports journalists, Majumdar’s arrival marks a bold reset in the network’s approach to sports coverage—one rooted in depth, access, and the serious cultural and diplomatic relevance of sport.
A Rhodes Scholar, bestselling author, and founder of Revsportz, Boria Majumdar brings over two decades of expertise spanning print, television, and digital platforms. Known for his rare access and layered insight into the world of Indian and international sport, Boria has authored acclaimed books—including Playing It My Way, the official autobiography of Sachin Tendulkar—and reported from multiple Olympics and Cricket World Cups.
“This is a new NDTV. And I have been working on building a very new kind of Indian sports media narrative—one that breaks format, that gives Olympic and Paralympic sports their rightful place. It’s bold, and it’s overdue,” said Boria Majumdar, outlining his vision for inclusive, reform-driven sports journalism that moves beyond the spectacle of match coverage.
Boria’s editorial mandate will focus on elevating sports coverage across multiple dimensions—from gender equity and Paralympic achievements to grassroots talent, infrastructure gaps, and policy reform. With the 2026 T20 World Cup, FIFA World Cup, and the run-up to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics on the horizon, this comes at a pivotal time for India’s sporting ambitions.
“Sport isn’t entertainment. It is identity. It is culture. It is diplomacy. It’s where a nation stands when the anthem plays,” said Boria. “At NDTV, the idea is to bring that lens to every report. To go deeper. To connect the dots. And to ask better questions.”
The collaboration will also deliver big-ticket interviews, marquee events, and investigative features that tap into Boria’s unmatched access to athletes, administrators, and influencers in Indian and global sport. From every Indian cricket captain since Sourav Ganguly to backstage Olympic moments, Boria’s storytelling aims to humanize and historicize sport as a mirror to the nation’s aspirations.
“Boria Majumdar is the most high-impact sports journalist in the industry today. His depth of knowledge and nuanced understanding of the world of sports are truly exceptional. At NDTV, we’re excited to collaborate with Boria to deliver high-quality sports reportage, in-depth analysis, and marquee events,” said Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, NDTV.
This move is also part of NDTV’s broader content transformation strategy, where sport is not treated as a side story—but as a primary lens into India’s changing global identity.
With Boria Majumdar on board, NDTV signals a powerful editorial shift—toward sports journalism that asks tougher questions, highlights lesser-known stories, and puts reform, representation, and real impact at the center of the field.
