In 1988, Radhika Roy and Dr Prannoy Roy launched the television media company – New Delhi Television – and a new chapter in the Indian television news’ history began. NDTV laid the foundation of the Indian television news as you know it.

Dr Roy has nurtured some of the big names that we see on air today, such as like Rajdeep Sardesai, Arnab Goswami, Barkha Dutt, Vikram Chandra and many more.

As the master of opinion polls, Dr Roy turns 67, we spoke to some of the people who have seen the man in action.
