| The Company |
Alliance Lumière Ltd. is a joint venture between NDTV Imagine, Mr. Manmohan Shetty and Mr. Sunil Doshi which will operate under the brand name NDTV Lumière.
|
| The Name |
NDTV Lumière derives its name from the Lumière brothers who brought Cinema to India from France on 7th July 1896, when six silent film strips, made by the Lumière brothers were shown in Mumbai’s Watson hotel. It is only fitting that more than a hundred years later, the movement that is bringing a new wave of cinema back into the country should be called NDTV Lumière.
