MUMBAI: When it rains, it pours and for Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS), the shower has been of accolades. Its media and broadband arms, Nxtdigital and Oneott International LTD. (OIL), have walked away with top honours at the 11th BCS Ratna Awards 2025, one of India’s most coveted forums celebrating media and entertainment excellence.
Nxtdigital, HGS’ digital content distribution platform, snagged the ‘Most Innovative Technology Provider’ trophy. At the heart of its win is the Nxthub model, a first-of-its-kind framework that has reimagined last-mile delivery. From India’s only Headend-in-the-Sky (HITS) platform to broadband and OTT, Nxtdigital has stitched it all into one integrated ecosystem. The result? Satellite-powered digital connectivity that now stretches across 4,500 pin codes, powering Tier 2, Tier 3 and rural India with digital TV and high-speed broadband.
Meanwhile, One Broadband among India’s top internet service providers was named ‘Best ISP Delivering in Rural India’. Its formula is deceptively simple yet deeply effective: aggregating local cable operators and last-mile owners through its Strategic Alliance Partner (SAP) model. This has enabled the brand “One” to deliver not just broadband, but OTT-ready services and AI-enabled customer support into homes and businesses beyond the metros.
“This recognition is more than a feather in our cap, it’s a responsibility,” said Nxtdigital media businesses CEO and HGS whole-time director Vynsley Fernandes. “It reaffirms our mission to build platforms that simplify access, scale with ease, and solve real-world challenges through innovation.”
For HGS, the wins come as it doubles down on customer-first strategies and scalable tech investments, bolstering its footprint across both bustling cities and underserved villages. At BCS Ratna 2025, the message was clear: whether beaming via satellite or streaming via fibre, HGS is scripting a connectivity story that’s as inclusive as it is innovative.
