PrintWeek India Awards ceremony to be aired on NDTV Profit/ Prime

The half-hour long telecast will feature glimpses of the Awards Night, which was held on 6 October at Grand Hyatt, Mumbai. During the ceremony, 23 print firms across 26 categories were awarded with the PrintWeek Prism; a recognition for their print excellence.

The ceremony also celebrated the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi, who had championed the power of print while con­necting to the masses across India, with his own printing venture, Young India. In this sense, the one-act play, Mahadevbhai, performed by Jaimini Pathak, was the highlight of the show.

The chief guest, Shri Tushar Gandhi, the Mahatma’s great-grandson, spoke at length about the indus­try and current state of affairs and enthralled the audi­ence with anecdotes about his father and his more illustrious grandfather. The other key guests, industry’s top brass, present at show were: Dev Nair, president, AIFMP, KS Khurana, presi­dent, IPAMA and Dr NC Saha from the Institute of Indian Packaging.

“The telecast of sixth edition of PrintWeek India Awards will feature the brightest of Indian print industry on a main stream national media channel. It is an attempt of creating awareness and promoting Indian print on a wider platform,” said Suresh Ramakrishnan, publishing director at Haymarket Media India, the publisher of PrintWeek India.
