Indian Telly Awards founder Anil Wanvari says that the journey of the awards began in July 2001 with the first edition when technicians, trade and programming executives were honoured with the backing of the four major broadcasters at that time. “Over the years, we have continued to recognise technical and trade talent but as a subset of the popular awards which have scaled up tremendously. We are delighted to once again create a separate platform dedicated to technical, trade and programming talent and thank Adobe for partnering us in our efforts.”
The hosts of the night, Nakuul Mehta and Mohena Kumari Singh, were charming and enthralled the audience by their witty and thought provoking remarks.
