TV9 Network has announced the launch of ‘Duologue NXT’, the bold new extension of its award-winning News9 original series ‘Duologue with Barun Das’. The fresh edition puts the spotlight on women achievers who are poised for their next big leap, celebrating journeys of resilience, success, and inspiration.

The initiative, unveiled through a News9 press release, builds on the legacy of ‘Duologue with Barun Das’, which has already completed three impactful seasons featuring personalities such as former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, football legend Oliver Kahn, Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy, and actor Allu Arjun. With ‘Duologue NXT’, the series opens a new chapter dedicated to amplifying the voices of women achievers across industries.

Hosted by Barun Das, MD & CEO of TV9 Network, the podcast is designed as a dialogue-meets-discovery format. It promises authentic, action-oriented conversations that cut through social media noise, offering life lessons and real-world strategies from women leaders across enterprise, cinema, fashion, aviation, art, and philanthropy. Das described the new series as a movement rather than just a show. “Women must be at the forefront of change. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of meeting remarkable women achievers whose stories deserve to be shared with the world. By amplifying their voices, we aim to inspire not only millions of women but also men to break barriers and reach greater heights,” he said.

Amar Sinha, Chief Operating Officer of Radico Khaitan, which has partnered with Duologue for the third consecutive year, echoed the sentiment. “At Radico Khaitan, we have always believed that true progress stems from diversity and inclusivity. Our partnership with ‘Duologue NXT’ reflects this commitment, as it provides a platform that not only celebrates the voices of women achievers but also fuels a larger movement towards women-led growth in India,” he noted.

Season one of ‘Duologue NXT’ brings together an eclectic mix of women achievers, including Israeli actor Rona Lee Shimon, Jet Set Go founder Kanika Tekriwal, Danube Group’s Sana Sajan, Indian actor Ridhi Dogra, Miss India Universe 2024 Rhea Singha, philanthropist and art collector Shalini Passi, Nalli Sarees vice-chairperson Lavanya Nalli, Rizq Art founder Shafeena Yusuff Ali, and Luxor Group managing director Pooja Jain Gupta.

Each episode will highlight personal journeys, struggles, and triumphs while reaffirming the essence of Marshall Goldsmith’s bestselling idea: “What got you here won’t get you there.” By focusing on substance over tokenism, the series seeks to inspire women to unlock their potential and shape the next phase of India’s growth story.
