NewsX iTV launches diaspora broadcasting network VaKu

NewsX iTV is launching VaKu, a Diaspora Broadcasting Network, on 10 July. For the first time in the history of Indian television, there is a dedicated platform to showcase the feats and accomplishments of the Indian diaspora. iTV intends to create a dedicated community-based ecosystem to connect India’s brilliant and change-making diaspora with the audience. A wide array of prolific guests of Indian-origin such as Amish Tripathi, author, columnist, and diplomat; Naeem Khan, fashion designer; Babi Ahluwalia, fashion designer; Vivek Lall, scientist & Chief Executive of General Atomics Global Corporation; Rik Mehta, Republican candidate, New Jersey; and Shivaz Rai, CEO, DU Digital Global, will be present at the mega launch on Saturday that will be aired on NewsX from 7 pm to 9 pm. After this, a special bi-weekly broadcast will air on NewsX every week, Wednesday at 7:30 pm and Saturday at 10 pm, featuring interviews, award shows, a hall of fame, podcasts, and hangouts. With this, iTV is following an apolitical, not-for-profit model to build a vibrant community for our diaspora using its broadcast channels. Limited memberships are available at nominal prices on Memboro. You can watch the interviews before they air on TV on Memboro, recommend people who should be profiled, get exclusive invites to diaspora webinars and hangouts, submit questions for the guests, get access to exclusive merchandise, have your name profiled on the TV broadcast, vote on the VaKu Hall of Fame, and suggest who should get the VaKu Golden Chakra Awards.
