Notable Programming: The network has enlisted high-profile Indian figures for shows, including:

Shashi Tharoor: A show discussing colonialism and its impacts.

Strategic Goal: The channel aims to offer a "non-Western" perspective on global events and strengthen the India-Russia media partnership. It operates as part of a content-sharing arrangement with Prasar Bharati (Doordarshan), which has been in place since July 2024.

Diplomatic Context: The launch proceeded despite calls from the United States for India to ban the network, following Western sanctions on RT due to its role in Russian state narratives.
