Indian Telly Technical Awards: Meet the producer who has driven the evolution of television

MUMBAI: We are absolutely in love with the world of television.

We not only applaud the actors and actresses of our favourite TV shows, but we are also gaga over the glamourous outfits, flawless make-up and hairdos, and grand sets.

However, the technical crew who works equally hard and tirelessly behind the camera seldom receives due credit or recognition. To honour them, IndianTelevision.com introduces the 15th edition of our annual Indian Telly Technical Trade and Programming Awards, which recognize the best in television production, editing, writing, direction, distribution, and creation.

A lot goes into producing shows. From video production on a television program to pitching them to television networks and taking core decisions on business matters such as budgets and contracts, it is all the job of the producer. He is the foundation of any show.

Ekta Kapoor is one of the leading female producers who played a quintessential role in the growth of television. She has been trolled for her overly dramatic tracks, but at the end of the day, her shows are the most successful in terms of TRPs. From Kyunki and Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii to the Kasautii reboot and Naagin, Ekta shines at almost all genres. Moreover, she is the only producer who is active on all three mediums: television, digital, and Bollywood!
