We endeavour to showcase India in all its diversity, and believe that like it’s people its stories come in several languages.

We are carefully selecting such stories that we will present through an English slot Mon-Wed at 10:30 pm and are confident that the freshness it brings will add value, perspective, and be a compelling incremental proposition to the EPIC library.”
