TVU links Modi summit across 25 sites
MUMBAI: When the world tuned in to hear what India thinks, the cloud did the talking. TVU Networks’ cloud-powered broadcast solutions stitched together 25 venues across the globe for the “What India thinks today” summit in New Delhi, headlined by prime minister Narendra Modi.
The two-day event at Bharat Mandapam brought together leaders and influencers to debate India’s role in the new world order. Behind the scenes, TV9 Network leaned on TVU’s tech stack: Partyline, Anywhere and One, to keep conversations seamless and audiences connected in real time.
The numbers tell the story. Sub-300 millisecond latency ensured smooth exchanges that felt as if participants were in the same room. The entire system was up and running in less than a day, slashing timelines that usually stretch to a week. And uninterrupted HD transmission held steady across international and domestic venues, even when networks were under strain.
The payoff was more than technical. The cloud-driven approach cut deployment costs and complexity while giving TV9 the freedom to focus on content rather than configuration.
“Delivering a truly global, interactive summit required agility and reliability,” said TV9 Network CTO Badari Prasad S. “TVU’s cloud ecosystem delivered both, setting a new benchmark for live connectivity.”
TVU Networks GM south Asia Subodh Aggarwal added, “This shows how our cloud solutions can eliminate borders while reducing costs and complexity.”
By powering a multi-venue, interactive broadcast of this scale, TVU Networks has underlined how cloud technology is reshaping live production worldwide. For global broadcasters chasing speed, scale and simplicity, the message is clear: the future is in the cloud.

UDF poised to return to power in Kerala, says Manorama-CVoter survey
Massive opinion poll projects shift in Kerala politics ahead of 2026 Assembly elections.
MUMBAI: The winds of change appear to be blowing through Kerala’s political landscape and this time, they seem to favour the United Democratic Front. A comprehensive mega opinion survey conducted by Manorama News in partnership with CVoter projects a potential comeback for the UDF in the upcoming Kerala Legislative Assembly Elections 2026. The survey, covering all 140 constituencies with a massive sample size of nearly 90,000 respondents, predicts the UDF could win between 69 and 81 seats.
The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) is expected to secure 57 to 69 seats, a significant drop from the 99 seats it won in the 2021 elections. This would mean the LDF losing 30 to 42 of its sitting seats. Meanwhile, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which drew a blank in 2021, is projected to open its account with 1 to 5 seats.
Region-wise, the UDF is expected to make strong gains in Malabar, winning 25 to 34 out of 48 seats, and in Central Kerala, where it could bag 29 to 33 out of 53 seats. In South Kerala, the LDF is likely to retain an edge with 21 to 25 seats, while the UDF may improve to 12 to 16 seats. The NDA could pick up 1 to 3 seats in the southern region.
The survey was conducted between 14 and 26 March 2026, with additional tracker and snap polls carried out from December 2025 to March 2026. A total of 89,693 respondents participated, ensuring representation across all demographics and social segments.
Manorama News has a strong track record of accuracy, with its previous projections closely matching the actual results of the 2019 and 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well as the 2021 Kerala Assembly polls.
In Kerala’s famously fierce political battles, this survey suggests the pendulum may be swinging back. Whether the final verdict matches these numbers or throws up another surprise, one thing is clear, the 2026 Assembly elections are shaping up to be one of the most keenly watched contests in the state’s history.
