Gandhi’s reel on three decades of M&E industry

|October 02, 2025
WAY BACK IN 1921, much before the liberalisation movement gathered steam in India, Mahatma Gandhi said - “I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible.”
These thoughts continued to guide and shape the wave of liberalisation, which swept our nation in the early 90s. As the economy unlocked and attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) across sectors, the walls of isolationism came crumbling down, giving wings to India’s rich treasure trove of culture and stories in unimaginable ways.
As we celebrate the birth anniversary of the Mahatma, we also rejoice the anniversary of private satellite television industry, which started 33 years ago in October 1992, on the back of liberalisation.
