Walk the Talk with @rahulkanwal | Thursday (Nov 12), 9 PM on NDTV. Lift-Off Nation
Can India build the technologies of the future, not just use what the world creates? A fascinating conversation with Rajan Anandan of Peak XV, ace tech investor and co-author of The Lift-Off Nation. From AI and semiconductors to India’s growing deep-tech muscle, we explore what it will take to build world-class technology companies. Most of us see the products and platforms transforming our lives. Rajan is helping finance the companies, technologies and infrastructure that could shape what comes next.

81.2% of global AI chip sales. 63% of AI computing capacity. A valuation larger than the economies of India, Germany or Japan. Our NDTV Datafy team charts Nvidia’s extraordinary rise and the concentration of power and risk in the AI economy. What happens to the AI boom if Nvidia’s dominance, or Jensen Huang’s leadership, is disrupted? ndtv.com/world-news/in-numbe…

A nice way to ring in the new year. We’ve been No. 1 on YouTube, Facebook and X. Instagram was the one that had eluded us. Until now. 64.3 million reel views in a week. A first for NDTV. Thank you for watching, engaging and making this possible. And a special shout-out to our wonderful social media team.

What makes someone the Indian of the Year? Is it the scale of their achievement, the obstacles they’ve overcome, or the difference they’ve made? Some thoughtful conversations and interesting perspectives as the NDTV Indian of the Year 2026 jury came together to deliberate. A few glimpses from the meeting.

Children as young as nine were being recommended sexually explicit AI-generated songs on @YouTube. @ndtv Datafy exposed the failure by testing parental controls and tracking recommendations. YouTube then removed hundreds of songs and shut down channels. Journalism that makes a difference. When It Really Matters. ndtv.com/india-news/will-use…

#NDTVDatafy | #YouTube has removed hundreds of #AI-generated graphic explicit songs and the channels publishing them after an NDTV investigation found such songs were available to accounts set up for children. "We've terminated these channels for violating our Nudity & Sexual content policy, which applies to all content including Gen AI content," a YouTube spokesperson told NDTV. Know all about the NDTV Datafy investigation by Subham Tiwari, its impact and why it matters Read more: ndtv.com/india-news/will-use… @rahulkanwal @OohAahOuch

AI is finding software flaws faster than the world can fix them. Over 84,000 vulnerabilities reported in 2026 so far, against 45,000 in all of 2025. A massive new cybersecurity challenge. The NDTV Datafy team examines the numbers and what they mean. ndtv.com/artificial-intellig… @ndtv

Could Donald Trump lose control of Congress today? America votes in a midterm election that could determine whether Trump can push through his agenda or face two years of congressional resistance and investigations. Which races will decide it?

Is courage something you’re born with, or can you learn to be brave? Prof. @RanjayGulati of @HarvardHBS argues in How to Be Bold that courage can be learned, practised and strengthened.

Welcome to @NDTVWorld @Akshobh Couldn’t have found a more pivotal time to get your innings at @ndtv started.
I spent seven years in the newsroom in Singapore and spent seven years across Boston and Washington, D.C. away from the newsroom. A different sort of 7 and 7. Excited to be back as I make my debut for @ndtv and @NDTVWorld as the consulting editor, U.S. desk. Thank you to all those who made this possible. My first priority is covering the #Midterms2026. I rely on your tips, insights for analysis and timely reporting.
