Delhi Hosts 2025 International Emmy Jury Meet, Led by Annurag Batra

For the second consecutive year, Delhi played host to the International Emmy® Awards Semi-Final Judging Round, with none other than Dr. Annurag Batra. The jury meet, focused on the Sports Programming category, brought together India’s top media veterans to evaluate some of the best global content in the genre.

The session wasn’t just about awarding excellence; it was a reminder of India’s growing role as a global cultural gatekeeper. While Dr. Batra offered continuity and leadership, the spotlight was shared across a table of seasoned editors, broadcasters, and creatives.

From emotional grassroots Olympic stories to hard-hitting football documentaries, the jury reviewed content that showed how sports transcend language and borders, much like the Emmys themselves.

This wasn’t just a judging panel. It was a quiet power move for India in global media diplomacy.
