This seminar was a part of a series of webinars with the past pupils of The Scindia School in an attempt to make the current students understand their journeys and be inspired by them.

Some of the key issues facing the broadcast media were discussed at length. Like the state of Indian media with political affiliations and the widespread fake news impacting it. Another key question that came up often was the future of broadcasting and adoption of new technologies to augment the experience of the consumer during and after the pandemic.

The Scindia School has a very closely-knit old students community which was visible from the fact that extremely passionate questions were coming from those who left school in the 1950s and 60s to those still studying and wanting to chart a career path in the media.

The Scindia School, originally The Sardars’ School, was founded in 1897 by HH Maharaja Madhavrao Scindia and is situated in the historic Gwalior Fort in the city of Gwalior.
