Consistency is key. Nas Daily didn’t succeed overnight. It took 271 videos to finally go viral. I made 1,000 videos over 1,000 days, never missing a single day, no matter the circumstances. Consistency not only builds momentum but also helps you improve and fix mistakes quickly. The more you create, the better you get.

"Video is the most natural way humans consume information. We see the world in 24 frames per second, so it makes sense that video engages people far more than text or images. People pay attention when content is presented through video because it’s how they’re wired to process information," said Nuseir.

"Packaging is everything. The same idea can have different impacts depending on how it’s presented. For example, China’s Belt and Road Initiative was widely covered in text but reached few people. When I made a video about it and packaged it in a simple way, it reached over 75 million people. Presentation is key to making content accessible," said NAS Daily's Nuseir.

"People love people, not institutions. If you want to engage an audience, you need a human face telling the story. This is why Nas Daily succeeded—it’s not just a brand, it’s me sharing stories," said NAS Daily's Nuseir at the NDTV World Summit.

Nidarshana Ramesh Gowani, Founder and Trustee of Kamala Ankibai Ghamandiram Gowani Trust joined the NDTV World Summit 2024 where she spoke about investing in philanthropy.

"If we are taking so much from society, why can't we give it back? Similar to how we pay monthly electricity bills, why can't we pay back to our society?" asked Ms Gowami.

"Each day the war goes on it is not in India's interest for, its diaspora interest for the reason of oil prices and India's geopolitical relationship," Ajay Bisaria, Former High Commissioner of India to Pakistan said.

"It does put pressure on India. The more serious the war situation becomes, the tougher it is. If we can play a role in peacekeeping, we will."

"The United States is working diligently to try to get to a ceasefire, try to make sure that peace comes to the region," said Tim Roemer, Executive Director, APCO, Former US Ambassador to India at NDTV World Summit 2024.

"There needs to be a secure ceasefire. There needs to exchange release of hostages. There needs to be a secure settlement, peace keeping area. There needs to be reconstruction efforts at some time, probably led by Europe but also the US and India could play an important role. There needs to be a moderate, prosperous economy in Gaza," said Tim Roemer, Executive Director, APCO, Former US Ambassador to India at NDTV World Summit 2024.

"Pakistan has been going through a polycrisis for the last three years. It has a security crisis, economic crisis and political crisis. All this reinforces each other and creates a fair deal of instability and incoherence in policy," said Ajay Bisaria, Former High Commissioner of India to Pakistan at the NDTV World Summit. "We have a vested interest in having a stable region around us," he added.

""Gaza war has brought Palestinian issue back into the reckoning.  It is tit for tat between Israel and Iran which has gone on. It is the first time Iranians are telling the world that they can reach Israel and pierce the eye and dome," said TS Tirumurti, Former Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations at the NDTV World Summit 2024.

"Israel has reasserted its military domination in the region, which it always had. If you come to Gaza, there is no doubt Hamas has been considerably degraded and it has come at a very high cost. We had more than 43,000 Palestinians killed, most of them women and children. International law has been violated. This has happened right through the conflict. The brutal attack of Hamas on Israel. More than 250 hostages which they have taken into Gaza and the pulverization of Gaza to dust. The ceasefire is nowhere in sight," said TS Tirumurti, Former Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations at the NDTV World Summit 2024.

A power packed panel to discuss power dynamic in West Asia. At the NDTV World Summit we have: 

At the NDTV World Summit, Tania Sachdev, Gold medallist, Chess Olympiad 2024 recalled the moment she met Indian chess grandmaster Viswanathan Anand. She said, "He was playing with 20 kids. I was the only girl there. I looked at him, he stood across me and I was like, When I grow up, I want to be like him. That was my moment where I felt this is so cool."

"He has a huge impact on all of us," she added.

At the NDTV World Summit, Tania Sachdev, Gold medallist, Chess Olympiad 2024 said, "Unless the state comes forward to recognise the sweat and hard work players put in for years, how are you going to inspire the youth to take up a profession seriously?"

"One of the things that Indian chess has been missing is a league which gives opportunities to players to play as a team. For chess to become a viable career option and for young people to take up the sport, initiatives like Global Chess League go a long way," said Tania Sachdev, Gold medallist, Chess Olympiad 2024, at NDTV World Summit.;

Tania Sachdev, Gold medallist, Chess Olympiad 2024 revealed she is a "huge Simone Biles fan".

Vantika Agrawal, Double gold medallist, Chess Olympiad 2024 said nothing has changed after winning double gold. She is still the "same simple girl", once a student of Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), University of Delhi, she said. At NDTV World Summit 2024, she recommended the moments after the win - when the team was "together" and did a special dance.

"When I became the national champion in 1997, I was the youngest national champion at 24. Today, six of the 10 Olympic Gold medal-winning team players are under 21," said Abhijit Kunte, Coach 0of Women's chess team 2024 at the NDTV World Summit.

"We had 7 wins in a row and we lost the eight match to Poland. We were exactly at this place in 2022 at the Chennai Olympiad as well. The ghosts of past are always on your mind. It is important to block the noise. We came back from the loss against Poland and we knew we needed to win this. We had to earn and sweat it out in the last match and the team really delivered on the last day," recalls Tania Sachdev, Gold medallist, Chess Olympiad 2024 at the NDTV World Summit. "It was a lifetime journey for a lot of us on the team," she added on the historic win.

A stage full of stars! At the NDTV World Summit, up next we have rockstars of Chess including:

In a wide-ranging conversation during the NDTV World Summit, the Snapdeal and Titan Capital co-founder Kunal Bahl recalled an anecdote about Ratan Tata which, he said, reflected the greatness of the titan of Indian industry.

Kareena Kapoor attended the NDTV World Summit where she spoke about her favourite collaboration. Her favourite collab was none other than Diljit Dosanjh (no surprises there).

"We’re seeing an increase in demand for premium products. As economic uncertainty grows, consumers tend to either go for cheaper, mass-market items or luxury goods. The premiumization trend is strong, and brands catering to luxury markets are thriving," said Dipali Goenka.

"The biggest challenge lies in supply chain disruptions and extended timelines, which have doubled in some cases from 6 to 12 months. This affects working capital and planning. While India offers great opportunities, these disruptions, often due to geopolitical issues, need to be addressed," said Dipali Goenka.

"India has overcome many barriers such as quality and cost concerns. In the textile sector, for example, we have built an ecosystem that offers complete traceability, automation, and a skilled workforce. India’s ability to be part of the global supply chain is evident, as we’ve managed to localize much of what was earlier dependent on China," said Dipali Goenka, Managing Director, Welspun Living at the NDTV World Summit. 

"Direct-to-Consumer is not the only way to launch a product. If you are confident in your product and have the capital, you can successfully launch through physical retail as well. Many DTC brands have eventually moved towards scalable brand value through physical channels," says Sudhakar Adapa.

"I’m a big believer in physical retail. While e-commerce has power, margins are much tighter due to platform commissions and other costs. For certain categories like beauty products, digital works better, but physical retail can be crucial depending on the product," said Sudhakar Adapa.

"The advantage is that anyone with great ideas can start a business, but competition has increased significantly, especially with numerous brands entering marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, and Nykaa. Differentiating your product has become harder, but customers now have more choices and enjoy great products at great prices," said Sudhakar Adapa, CEO, BIA Brands.

"It is not clear all the things AI can do. Definitely we ourselves can't imagine the ways in which people will utilise it," said Niki Parmar, Co-founder, EssentialAI at the NDTV World Summit. "Experts can help with the regulations for AI and to figure what does the usage of this looks like and how do we deploy it. In the next four to five years, the benefits will outweigh the cons. We have to wholeheartedly adopt it and think about deployment of it and how people will use it in day-to-day very carefully."

"Healthcare and education are two sectors where you will see AI being able to do things that were not possible earlier," said Dr. Rohini Srivathsa, Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft India and South Asia. Elaborating on her statement, she gave an example of a doctor having an AI Assistant who could track latest developments in disease sectors globally.

"AI will make India celebrate diversity in languages," she added, stating with AI people can learn languages other than English.

"AI is growing faster than what it can be put to use at," said Saurabh Kumar Sahu, Managing Director & Lead - India Business Accenture at the NDTV World Summit. "We don't have to worry about the pace of AI at the moment," he added.

"AI for me means Atmanirbhar India," he said stressing on using AI for India.

At the NDTV World Summit 2024, Dr. Rohini Srivathsa, Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft India and South Asia talked about working with an NGO in Karnataka using "Shiksha Co-pilot". The software allows teachers in a government school to create a lesson plan for their students. In government schools, typically, you have children from different ages in the same classroom and they may have different skill levels, she added.

"This allows teacher in Kannada to prepare a lesson plan for their students that is tailored to that particular student's interest. That was impossible earlier."

Artificial Intelligence (AI) could raise global GD by 7 per cent just over the next decade, as per the estimates. AI is the conversation of the moment. At the NDTV World Summit 2024, we talk about AI and Tech with:

"A world of love, happiness, peace" is the kind of world Kareena Kapoor Khan aspires for her children. Talking about her son Jeh, she said, "Somebody who would always lend his voice to the truth, voice for safety of women. Knowing he has a brother doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to protect other girls. He will be somebody's father and husband someday. I hope he values what his mother has done for him. He sees his mother and father go to work. He understands it is important for women to be safe to go to work to feel happy. These are the things I don't hide from him. He is watching them everyday. I want him to grow up knowing and normalising that women are as equal as men. They can also be the front runners."

Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan talks about her work with UNICEF and working for children. She recalls working on a campaign for newborns and breastfeeding, which is close to her heart.

"It comes naturally because being a mother to two boys, I use my experiences when I talk at events for them, when we work on ground, she said.

"I have never really pursued any dreams to go to Hollywood. It has never been on my agenda," said Ms Khan.

"Saying no shouldn't make you feel you are not confident. No is an answer that should always be something that should be reassuring rather than making you feel underconfident," said Kareena Kapoor Khan.

"Bukhara" that is actor Kareena Kapoor Khan's favourite restaurant in Delhi. When asked about her favourite street food, she said she likes eating parathe while sitting in car. "The whole world know that I am crazy about food. I am very unapologetic about it. I love Choley Bhature, Aloo Paratha, Biryani."

"You have to reflect upon your performances and try to do something different. That is something I take great pride in doing, changing myself in different characters. I have tried to play different people on screen and I really enjoy that," said Kareena Kapoor Khan at the NDTV World Summit 2024.

Urging people to watch her latest release "The Buckingham Murders", actor Kareena Kapoor Khan said, "It is the best performance of my career." Ms Khan also donned the role of a producer for the film.

"We have learned to make the best of what we have," said Kareena Kapoor Khan when asked about celebrating everyone's victories. "Paralympians, Olympians have done so well. If the nation doesn't participate in their glory, it doesn't feel like. We want to encourage them. We want them to feel that we are watching. Celebration is very much a part of our culture."

"Everyone is always fascinated by our nation, our culture because it is such a great heritage and tradition," said Actor Kareena Kapoor while speaking about the changing perception towards India.

Further talking about the love for Indian movies, Ms Khan said, they are "true to itself" and there is craze of Indian movies. "They are watched globally and enjoyed in our language," she added.

"Salwar kameez is home because Geet loved her salwar kameez," said actor Kareena Kapoor at the NDTV World Summit.

"Indian fashion has evolved. It is a great moment for the fashion industry because of its great craftsmanship. Indian heritage and their craftsman are finally getting their due. Designers are suing Indian artisans to its core which is what is grabbing the attention globally. India is having a great fashion moment. It is no more that only Indians are wearing sarees. All over the world, in every culture and race, wants to wear a beautiful colourful saree and lehenga," she said.

India will open up the possibility of monetizing carbon credits, said e-mobility expert Mustafa Wajid, hinting at a vibrant trade of carbon credits between different sectors in the near future.

Harjeet Singh, Global Engagement Director, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative sums up his experience of being at the NDTV World Summit.

Anasuya Sengupta made history this year as the first Indian to win a top acting award at the Cannes Film Festival.

"We have been celebrating unicorn for many years. But if you just trace back to understand, why does this term exist? This term was actually invented by a venture capitalist in the US in the context of the US, where companies over $1 billion are called a unicorn, which is actually a mythical figure," said Entrepreneur and Investor Kunal Bahl when asked why he coined the term "Indicorn".

"As I was reflecting on it over the years, having built a unicorn, having funded many companies which became unicorns, I just realised that why are we celebrating these when actually what our country needs right now is lasting enduring businesses where start-ups are built off the back of real revenues and real profits?," he added, while speaking at the NDTV World Summit 2024.

Mr Bahl called to focus on building businesses with the intention of making them lasting and enduring and aim for goals which enable us to get there. "What India probably needs right now is not 100 or 200 or 300 unicorns or 500 unicorns. We need 10,000 Indicorns because that will form the bedrock of the start-up ecosystem and that will create the steady flow of companies that eventually become listed companies and large businesses."

"India's entrepreneurship has grown but there is a very abysmal growth of women entrepreneurs. And even more abysmal is the fact that funding is rare. In 2022, 14.7% of the funding went to women. In 2023, it dropped to 9.7%," said Padmaja Ruparel, Co-founder, IAN Group at the NDTV World Summit.

"We need to create the Black Rock of India led by a woman. Then we'll make it. That, to me, is what will drive the entrepreneurship," she added.

"At Luminous Power Technologies, the senior leadership team constitutes 33 per cent women, really making a difference, all day, every day," Preeti Bajaj, CEO & MD, Luminous Power Technologies said with pride. Further talking about the work that needs to be done in the energy sector, Ms Bajaj listed 3As:

"36% of our board is women. We have 26% women across management globally," said Kami Viswanathan, President, Middle East, Indian subcontinent, and Africa, FedEx at the NDTV World Summit.

Further talking about breaking the glass ceiling and women leading the growth, she said, "We recently added opportunity to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to rededicate ourselves to inclusive hiring and promotions and supporting career paths."

Ms Viswanathan emphasised increasing the representation of women in the logistics and supply chain sector.

As India races to become a $5 trillion economy,  we now discuss the role of women shaping this future in India. From business and entrepreneurship to politics, education and social leadership, Indian women are at the forefront, breaking barriers and setting new benchmarks. At the NDTV World Summit, we discuss how the Indian business women are fostering the future, creating new paradigms of leadership, innovation, inclusivity and progress in a rapidly evolving global landscape. On the panel are:

"I started investing in the second year of college. I was really passionate about investing and got a good-set set of folks, our co-founders," recalls Lalit Keshre, Co-Founder and CEO, Groww at the NDTV World Summit.

Further talking about growth of equity investments in India, he said, "Folks like us made it very easy and transparent. Earlier investing was limited to certain cities but now a lot of customers are coming from smaller cities."

When asked if IPO is on the card for Groww, he said, "It is somewhere down the line, we don't know when."

"The state of Gujarat alone has contributed to renewable energy so much that if it were a nation, it would be the 8th largest in terms of green energy," said Erik Solheim, Former Minister of Climate and the Environment of Norway, at the NDTV World Summit.

China accounts for 60% of all green energy today and the rest of the world is the other 40%. India is second only to China, he added.

Talking about India's progress, he added, "If ten years ago someone asked me where one needs to go to see climate progress, I would have said a Brussels or Geneva, but today I would say go see what a Beijing, Delhi or Jakarta are doing."

"Make climate technology as a public good if we really want to deal with the existential crisis we are facing right now. Technology is still becoming a barrier even with the ones that we have really cracked the code of particularly solar, wind and battery storage," said Harjeet Singh, Global Engagement Director, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative at the NDTV World Summit 

"India is the country that matters the most for the future of the planet and climate change. India's ambition for development should not in anyway be constrained by the responsibilities of planet," said Lindy Cameron, British High Commissioner to India at the NDTV World Summit.

"Climate disasters are impacting far more those who are historically much less responsible  for the state of affairs we are in today. The kind of migrations happening within countries because of extreme heat is much more in the vulnerable and developing countries," said Shishir Priyadarshi, President, Chintan Research Foundation at the NDTV World Summit.

Mr Priyadarshi said that while we should continue to focus on sustainability, lot of developing countries including India should have a three-pronged narrative. "While we fight on sustainability, but we don't at all lose our emphasis on economic growth and energy security," he added.

"Every dollar invested in resilient infrastructure pays 4 times over," said Lindy Cameron, British High Commissioner to India at the NDTV World Summit. "Lived experience of climate emergencies helps people to understand why their government needs to take policy action now,"  she added.

Further talking about the need for urgent government action, Harjeet Singh, Global Engagement Director, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative said, "Series of disasters affecting both developed and developing countries are serving as a wake up call. As rich countries will get more and more affected by climate change which they did not imagine till a couple of years ago, most vulnerable countries are going to be struggling with impacts who also have very less capacity to deal with it. They did not invest domestically enough in preparing for resilience. They will start looking more inwards.

India is taking a leadership role in the global fight against climate change. India's climate actions have far reaching implications, beyond its borders. The country's success in developing and implementing low-carbon technologies can serve as a model for other developing economies.

But what is India's role in global climate leadership and what are the priorities for India in settling the terms for the climate agenda. At NDTV World Summit, we look to find these answers with an expert panel:

Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow, Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore joins for a discussion on "India Ascends - The Diplomatic High Table" at the NDTV World Summit. 

Mr Mahbubani said it is time for Britain's permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council to be given to India. "The would cheer if India gets a UNSC seat, because it would give a perspective that would be understood both by the West and the East," he said. He also stressed India's role in addressing the conflict in Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Iran among others.

From being a cinephile and MBBS graduate to winning at Cannes, Chidananda S. Naik's journey is nothing short of a film story in itself.

"My story world is something I have already seen or heard. I put it into a fictional world. These characters come from my interpretation of reality," says Chidananda S. Naik, Director and Screenwriter at the NDTV World Summit.

Chidananda won the Cinéfondation first Prize at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for his film 'Sunflowers Were the First Ones to Know...'

"There is so much misinformation, misconception and miscommunication in the world. It made me question - why we lie so much?" recalls Mansi Maheshwari when asked about her film Bunnyhood. Following this she did some introspection and found a story.

"Bunnyhood is a story about learning to lie and why we lie so much in life," she adds while speaking at the NDTV World Summit 2024.

"Beyond anything that I had anticipated," says Anasuya Sengupta, Actor and Production Designer, as she recalls her red carpet moment at the Cannes. It was a moment of "deep, deep pride to be on a global stage," she added.

Celebrating India's moment in the global art landscape, NDTV World Summit organised a panel discussion on 'Art is Global: The India Moment". On the panel are:

Carbon trading scheme will be effective by 2026. Talking about the same, Mustafa Wajid, Co-Founder, BILLIONe said, "The vision of the government is to create carbon market like you have the stock market. The creation of stock market took a lot of time. And digitisation happened recently, in the last two decades. The process is on, policies are being drafted. We are optimistic, we will see it kicking off in 2026."

"Carbon credits will come. It is not in the rear view mirror anymore. There will be challenges but good organisations who can adapt and understand will be generating carbon credits. There will be a very vibrant market," he added.

Ajay Pillai, Partner Sustainability and Climate Change, Deloitte lists out the challenges firms face in following ESGs:

BillionE is focused on reducing the consumption of petroleum products in transportation, said Co-Founder Mustafa Wajid at the NDTV World Summit. Talking about environment and energy security issues, Mr Wajid said, "Fossil fuels used for generating electricity and transportation are two big elephants in the room. India consumes close to 150 million metric tonnes of petrol and diesel for transportation. At Billion Electric we are trying to address this. We have started deploying electric trucks."

"Decarbonising the transport sector at one level is our corporate objective. The name Billion means we would like to d a billion kilometers of decarbonised transportation," he added.

India's transportation requirements have multiplied by three times in the last 3 years and now stands at 3 tonnes kilometers. It is growing faster than the GDP, he said. Giving out the reason behind this, Mr Wajid said, "It is because of increased urbanisation, consumerism, and e-commerce sector. At BillionE we would like to see how to make this transportation more sustainable."

Gagandeep Sethi. Senior VP, Integrated Operations and Sustainability & Responsibility, Pernod Ricard India shared company's sustainability goals and said, "We have a very comprehensive ESG programme under the umbrella name 'good times from a good place'. It is super aligned to ESG principals and UN SDGs with its core elements of nurturing terrain, land from where we draw all our resources. Everything that we do, we have to ensure we restore that balance of the earth. Secondly, circular making. While we produce products to delight customers , we do it in sustainable manner. Third element is about valuing people."

There is a growing movement towards sustainable living. In this session we focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework. We explore the vital intersection of profit and purpose. As India aims to become $5 trillion economy, embedding ESG into its core business model is one of the essential steps for companies to drive long term profitability and sustainable growth.

NDTV World Summit Day 2 begins with a discussion on 'Aligning Profit with Purpose'. On the panel we have:
