India’s No. 1 Sports Journalist Joins India’s No. 1 News Network
Boria Majumdar Joins NDTV as Consulting Editor – Resetting the Agenda for Indian Sports Journalism.
You can cover sports. Or you can uncover what they say about a nation. This belief, that sport is not just performance or spectacle but a lens into identity, diplomacy, and public consciousness, is what drives Boria Majumdar. Now India’s leading sports journalist joins NDTV as Consulting Editor, bringing with him a transformative vision for Indian sports journalism.
One of the most credible and visible names in Indian media, A Rhodes Scholar and founder of Revsportz, Boria is not only a chronicler of modern Indian sport – he is one of its most trusted interpreters. For over two decades, he has broken exclusive stories, reported from global arenas, authored bestsellers, and been on speed dial for some of the biggest names in cricket. His access is unparalleled. His perspective, uniquely layered. He co-authored Playing It My Way, the official autobiography of Sachin Tendulkar – a book that went on to become one of India’s highest-selling sports titles. He has interviewed every Indian cricket captain since Sourav Ganguly, delivered exclusive coverage from multiple World Cups and Olympics, and led some of the most compelling sports journalism on air and in print.
As Boria joins the country’s No. 1 news network, it sets the stage for a new chapter – one where sport is reported with authority, depth, and the kind of access that he can bring. “This is a new NDTV. And I have been working on building a very new kind of Indian sports media narrative – one that breaks format, that gives Olympic and Paralympic sports their rightful place. It’s bold, and it’s overdue,” says Boria.
With India gearing up for a packed global calendar – from the 2026 T20 World Cup and FIFA World Cup to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics qualifiers and the dream of hosting the 2036 Games, NDTV’s new sports editorial strategy makes the conversations more ambitious, more inclusive, and far more serious in how we document this moment. “Sport isn’t entertainment. It is identity. It is culture. It is diplomacy. It’s where a nation stands when the anthem plays,” says Boria. “At NDTV, the idea is to bring that lens to every report. To go deeper. To connect the dots. And to ask better questions.”
Expect big events, bold conversations, and marquee interviews – driven by unmatched access and a deep understanding of the sporting landscape. Boria’s presence ensures that emerging disciplines, gender diversity in sport, Paralympic achievement, and grassroots ecosystems are not reduced to episodic coverage but treated as central to the national sporting conversation. This new editorial push will also focus on the hard questions around infrastructure, funding, access, and reform – questions often left unasked when the spotlight is on medals alone.
“Boria Majumdar is the most high impact sports journalists in the industry today. His depth of knowledge and nuanced understanding of the world of sports are truly exceptional. At NDTV, we’re excited to collaborate with Boria to deliver high-quality sports reportage, in-depth analysis, and marquee events”, says Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor in Chief, NDTV
With Boria on board, NDTV reinforces its editorial intent, not by chasing headlines, but by returning to what makes them matter. The focus is on storytelling that’s deeper, more inclusive, and rooted in the real questions – the ones shaping the future of sport, football and the country watching it. Because sport is not the side story, it never was. Sports – covered like never before, on the new NDTV.
