With such strong vision, he launched Rachana Television Private Limited and NTV, a 24/7 News Channel has come live on TV Sets, on 30th August, 2007.
NTV, in 15 years of journey, achieved the No.1 position among all News Channels in Telugu Media as it stayed true to ethics and facts based journalism than giving into biases. It hasn’t been easy. To achieve this status where people are accustomed to watching NTV, for its presentation and fact-bearing reporting 24/7, reporters had to train themselves in live reporting as rest of the competition and established channels, sticked to regular methods. NTV brought innovative methods and novel ideas into reporting live. Giving more importance to integrity, honesty and mainly, public welfare.
