Mumbai: At the world’s most influential gathering of global leadership and ideas – the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting at Davos, the NDTV Network is redefining how India participates in the conversations that imagine collective futures.
This year, NDTV Ignite introduces Davos Sprint, a first-of-its-kind editorial initiative on Indian television, anchored in short, focused conversations.
In an environment where global dialogue is often expansive and shaped by protocol, Davos Sprint adopts a different approach. Each session is tightly curated and designed to distil complex conversations into simple takeaways and highlight what truly matters for a discerning audience.
Davos Sprint conversations feature a distinguished set of global and Indian voices, including Kinjaraapu Ram Mohan Naidu, Minister of Civil Aviation, Government of India; Jimmy Wales, Co-Founder of Wikipedia; Parag Khanna, Founder and CEO of AlphaGeo; and Munjal Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Hippocratic AI.
Covering themes from India’s aviation and infrastructure ambitions to the evolution of knowledge systems, geopolitics, artificial intelligence, and healthcare, each conversation will explore not just what is changing, but why it matters in contemporary business and geopolitics – and how those changes will inform policy, leadership, and strategic choices over time.
The sessions will be anchored by NDTV’s senior editorial leadership. Vishnu Som, Senior Managing Editor, Ayush Ailawadi, NDTV’s Tech Editor, and Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, will lead these high-impact conversations, bringing editorial sharpness to every sprint.
‘At Davos, the challenge is not access to ideas, but discernment. Davos Sprint is built around that principle – focused conversations that bring depth, judgement, and relevance in a rapidly shifting world,’ said Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, NDTV.
With this initiative, the NDTV Network is crafting a confident presence at Davos – one that reflects the evolving nature of global discourse and the need for insight that is both immediate and meaningful.
Davos Sprint@NDTV Ignite will be showcased on NDTV 24×7 and NDTV Profit, reflecting NDTV’s consistent endeavour to be India’s global voice.
Davos Sprint will go live from Davos on January 20, 2026, 10.55 PM (IST) onwards.
