Boria Majumdar joins NDTV as Consulting Editor for Sports

Boria Majumdar has joined NDTV as consulting editor for sports. He believes sports reflect a nation's identity, diplomacy, and public mindset, not just performance or entertainment.

Majumdar, a Rhodes Scholar and founder of Revsportz, is a well-known name in Indian sports media. For over 20 years, he has reported on major events, broken news stories, and authored several books, including Playing It My Way, Sachin Tendulkar’s official autobiography. He has interviewed every Indian cricket captain since Sourav Ganguly and covered multiple World Cups and Olympics across platforms.

"This is a new NDTV. And I have been working on building a very new kind of Indian sports media narrative - one that breaks format, that gives Olympic and Paralympic sports their rightful place. It’s bold, and it’s overdue," says Boria.  

With India gearing up for a packed global calendar - from the 2026 T20 World Cup and FIFA World Cup to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics qualifiers and the dream of hosting the 2036 Games, NDTV’s new sports editorial strategy makes the conversations more ambitious, more inclusive, and far more serious in how we document this moment.  "Sport isn’t entertainment. It is identity. It is culture. It is diplomacy. It’s where a nation stands when the anthem plays," says Boria. "At NDTV, the idea is to bring that lens to every report. To go deeper. To connect the dots. And to ask better questions."  

The coverage will include major events, interviews, and discussions backed by strong access and sports knowledge. It will also highlight areas like emerging sports, gender diversity, Paralympic achievements, and grassroots development. The editorial focus will extend to key issues such as infrastructure, funding, access, and reform, beyond just medal wins.

“Boria Majumdar is the most high impact sports journalists in the industry today. His depth of knowledge and nuanced understanding of the world of sports are truly exceptional. At NDTV, we’re excited to collaborate with Boria to deliver high-quality sports reportage, in-depth analysis, and marquee events”, says Rahul Kanwal, CEO and editor in chief, NDTV
