Mumbai: Amid growing volatility and uncertainty in the business environment, business journalism is changing – as are conversations that help make informed choices. It is no longer about reporting events as they unfold, but to interpret shifts as they happen, provide context, and help navigate the turns of global complexities.
Starting January 5, 2026, NDTV Profit begins a journey of renewal and reinvention. Through a refreshed visual identity, a sharper editorial purpose, and formats focused on clarity and depth, the channel is refining its approach to business conversations amid increasing market unpredictability
Explaining the thinking behind this shift, Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, NDTV, said, ‘Business news today has to earn trust every day. Markets are unforgiving of exaggeration. What NDTV Profit is focused on is sharpening the conversation – bringing more pace, stronger analytics, and greater editorial intent to market hours. This is a journey we are crafting with intent, with relevance and credibility as the core priorities.’
This phase reflects a conscious effort to strengthen market coverage with greater urgency, sharper analytics, and a more purposeful editorial voice – aligned to the needs of today’s investors, professionals, and enterprise leaders.
NDTV Profit’s market-opening franchise has been a familiar part of the English business news landscape, led by anchors whose perspectives are closely followed by market participants. From January 5, India Market Open is strengthened further, with market experts Parag Thakkar, Fund Manager at Fort Capital, and Kush Bohra of KushBohra.com joining Tamanna Inamdar, Niraj Shah, and Alex Matthews. Together, the expanded panel brings a wider range of market insight, sharper analysis, and experienced perspectives to the morning conversation.
Known for his decisive, table-thumping calls and a strong track record, Parag contributes conviction to market discussions, while Kush brings disciplined technical analysis for viewers focused on intraday opportunities.

We are strengthening our core shows, bringing in new voices, and building formats that respect how markets actually function today—fast, information-dense, and constantly evolving. The focus is on clarity and usefulness.’
Underlying this approach is a growing emphasis on analytical depth, including the expanded use of data-led insights and evolving AI-assisted tools to strengthen market interpretation. The intent is to help investors take smarter, sharper calls in an increasingly complex environment.
