About NDTV Creators' Manch

NDTV’s Creators’ Manch Season 2 returns as a dynamic cultural platform where literature, cinema, and bold ideas come together in powerful conversation. Bringing celebrated Hindi writers, film personalities, intellectuals, and emerging young voices onto one stage, this season explores themes ranging from feminism and marginalised identities to the future of books, publishing, and creativity in the digital age. More than a series of discussions, Creators’ Manch serves as a bridge between generations — connecting experience with new energy, and tradition with innovation. It is a space where ideas are celebrated, creativity finds its voice, and the new generation takes its rightful place in the cultural dialogue. For lovers of literature and art — and for anyone seeking to understand the shifting sensibilities of society and the new directions of the creative world — Creators’ Manch Season 2 promises conversations that truly matter. Watch the magic of poetry and storytelling unfold on 14th - 15th March.

Quotes

Criticising society is not anti-national; rather, it's an effort to make the country better. If a doctor tells you about your illness, it doesn't mean he's against you; he simply wants you to get well.

Javed Akhtar

If someone can tell their story well, it should be presented in a simple way. In the future, I will try to tell stories in the simplest way possible.

Imtiaz Ali

I always wanted to be an Indian writer so that I could be read across India. For that, I chose stories that everyone would like.
