    MUMBAI: Fasten your seatbelts, India’s tourism calendar just got its most glamorous pit stop.

    The event will feature senior government officials, international tourism boards, luxury brand CXOs, aviation leaders, and travel-tech innovators, all decoding what lies ahead for Indian and global tourism. With India’s inbound and domestic tourism market expected to cross Rs 16 trillion by 2030, the timing could not be better.

  • TV9 Network partners with All Out and IMA to take a big bite out of dengue this year

    TV9 Network partners with All Out and IMA to take a big bite out of dengue this year

    MUMBAI: As the monsoons roll in, so do the mosquitoes. But this time, India’s battle against dengue is getting a prime-time push. On World Dengue Day 2025, TV9 Network joined forces with mosquito repellent brand All Out and the Indian Medical Association (IMA) to launch the ‘Saath Ladenge Dengue Se’ campaign—a multi-day, multi-platform blitz to inform, engage and mobilise citizens in the fight against mosquito-borne illnesses.

    The campaign kicked off with a bang on 15 June, aiming to reframe the narrative around mosquitoes from minor irritants to major health threats. With cases of dengue rising across India, the initiative makes a timely intervention by focusing on prevention, awareness and collaboration.

    “At TV9 Network, we believe in using the power of media to drive meaningful change. Through our partnership with All Out, we are not just broadcasting a campaign, we are enabling a nationwide movement to fight Dengue with knowledge, urgency, and unity”, said 
    TV9 Network CRO Amit Tripathi.

    The campaign’s media rollout includes broadcast across six regional TV9 channels—Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Bangla and Gujarati—tapping into the network’s linguistic diversity and regional reach. Households from Kolkata to Kutch are tuning in to specially curated vignettes and anchor-led explainers, busting myths and spelling out symptoms in bite-sized doses.

    TV9’s ‘Doctor Bytes’ series features IMA-affiliated experts dishing out simple, actionable guidance. From recognising early warning signs to listing do’s and don’ts, the message is clear: mosquitoes may be small, but the consequences aren’t. The messaging is concise, the delivery clinical.

    “Awareness is the first step toward prevention. With ‘Saath Ladenge Dengue Se, An All Out initiative’ we are blending credible medical insight with high-impact storytelling to empower families across India,” said Raktim Das, Chief Growth Officer, TV9 Network.

    Brillon Consumer Products MD & CEO Ratanjit Das said, “All Out has always stood for protecting families from mosquitoes and the diseases they cause. Awareness on vector borne diseases is still very low in India today. With Dengue on the rise, we felt the need to increase our efforts on educating consumers and work with credible partners to create mass awareness. All Out’s ‘Saath Ladenge Dengue Se’ campaign is a step towards that goal”.

    The campaign reaches a crescendo with a national-level televised panel discussion on TV9 Bharatvarsh, bringing together doctors, public health experts and IMA representatives to discuss real-time risks, misinformation, and the need for a multi-sectoral effort in tackling vector-borne diseases.

    “Preventing vector-borne diseases is a public health priority. Diseases like Dengue cannot be tackled in isolation by one individual, it needs all stakeholders coming together and collectively finding solutions. Indian Medical Association is proud to collaborate on this initiative to reach households with life-saving information”, noted 
    Indian Medical Association national president Dilip Bhanushali.

    Not just resting on remote controls, the campaign also sees an aggressive digital play. TV9’s platforms are flooded with Instagram reels, Facebook explainers and X (formerly Twitter) threads—all designed to keep India swiping, scrolling and staying safe.

    In a country where dengue still takes lives and mosquito bites often get shrugged off, this campaign is a wake-up call. It asks Indians to fight back not just with repellent, but with information.

In a show of support,  Nitin Gadkari union minister of road transport and highways of India, launched the campaign by unveiling the logo, along with Castrol India Ltd managing director Sandeep Sangwan, and TV9 Network chief growth officer (Broadcasting & Digital) Raktim Das.

The enroute journey will engage truck drivers in interactive, on-ground Paathshaalas across planned Transport Nagars on their way. The knowledge sessions have been curated to upskill truckers around four key aspects—Driving Safety, Truck Ownership, New Technology and Business Profitability—empowering them to #BadhteRahoAagey.

    Appreciating the initiative, Nitin Gadkari, union minister of road transport and highways, said, “The road ministry of India is committed to ensuring the safety, well-being and progress of truck drivers by undertaking multiple initiatives. The Government has built state-of-the-art expressways and enacted laws to curb road accidents, but lack of fear and discipline among motorists is a huge challenge. I congratulate Castrol India for launching Pragati Ki Paathshaala’ which is a step towards building awareness and encouraging truckers to #BadhteRahoAagey.”

    Castrol India managing director Sandeep Sangwan stated, “The trucking community has always been an integral part of Castrol India, and we have been continuously striving to ensure their safety and livelihood through various transformative initiatives. ‘Castrol CRB TURBOMAX Pragati Ki Paathshaala’ is a purpose-led programme through which we aim to reach more than 100,000 truckers on-ground across India, upskilling over 10,000 truck drivers with live Paathshaalas enabling them to #BadhteRahoAagey.

    Highlighting the challenges of the trucking community and the benefits availed through the initiative, Sangwan added, “More than 50 per cent of India’s truckers operate in unorganised

    fleets or as individual owners. The programme aims to boost their entrepreneurial mindset and directs them towards the path of progress – bringing alive the idea of #BadhteRahoAagey.”
