Times Now will host the Amazing Indians Awards 2026 in New Delhi on September 30, celebrating individuals who have changed the lives of communities across India. The awards highlight three main categories—technology‑driven social innovation, skill development and employability, and rural, community and livelihood development—shedding light on grassroots progress.
The 2026 nominees include a spectrum of ages and backgrounds. Jyoti Bramha Chakravarti, 42, founded Mercredi Solutions and brings six years of social work experience to the table. Nannam Thirupati, 32, runs Nannam Industries and has spent 12 years deploying tech‑enabled solutions for rural livelihoods. Their work demonstrates how entrepreneurship can blend with social purpose.
A standout story is Uma Preman, 56, who established Santhi Medical Information Centre to bridge healthcare knowledge gaps in underserved districts. Her initiative has delivered free telemedicine consultations to thousands, making medical information accessible where it was once scarce. The award will spotlight the persistent gaps in public health awareness.
The event, organized by the Times Now group, will be broadcast live on the network’s flagship channel. Attendees will include public officials, industry leaders and community activists, all converging to recognize the awardees with trophies, portraits and a financial grant that could fund further projects.
Following the ceremony, winners will be invited to a roundtable aimed at scaling their impact nationwide. The event is expected to attract new funding streams and policy attention for grassroots initiatives, reinforcing India’s commitment to sustainable community development.
