Run the channel yourself, and you find out fast what the software has to get right.
Our newsrooms publish TamilWire in Tamil and The Indian Witness in English and Hindi. Dhool TV plays Tamil music around the clock, and Mantra TV carries spirituality through the day.
Doing that every day, we know exactly what a newsroom and a playout room need. So we built Neo Newsroom and Meridian Playout for our own desks and channels first. Now they are ready for yours.
What we believe
Three things we won’t trade.
Air is sacred
A person checks what reaches our viewers and readers, and it lands exactly when it should. Fast is good. Right is better.
Every language, done properly
Tamil, Hindi and English, each with its own script and its own voice. Never an afterthought. Never bolted on.
Craft over shortcuts
From a headline to a single frame of video, we sweat the detail. Audiences feel it, even when they can’t say why.
