Bringing together leading voices from entertainment, music, fashion, digital content, business, sports, and the creative industries, Headliners celebrates those whose work shapes conversations, inspires audiences, and leaves a lasting impact on society.

Adding a distinctive dimension to the property was the specially designed ‘Headliners’ trophy. Inspired by the iconic Bombay Times newspaper, the trophy takes the form of a rolled newspaper scroll, symbolising stories, achievements, and influence that rise above the ordinary to become headlines. The trophy honours visionaries, changemakers, and icons whose contributions have left a lasting mark across culture, business, entertainment, and society.

Sivakumar Sundaram, CEO, The Times of India said, "For over three decades, Bombay Times has celebrated the people and moments that have shaped popular culture in India. With Headliners, we are recognising the individuals behind those defining stories whose influence extends far beyond their respective fields. We envision Headliners becoming a definitive platform honouring those who leave a lasting mark on audiences, industries, and society."

With its successful debut, Bombay Times Headliners is poised to become a marquee annual property celebrating the people who shape conversations, influence culture, and create the moments that define our times.
