CNBC Awaaz

CNBC Awaaz (Awaaz is Hindi for voice) is Indian broadcaster TV18’s Hindi business news channel. It was launched in 2005, a year after Zee Business, its only Hindi-language competitor for many years (until 2021, when ET Now Swadesh was launched).

CNBC Awaaz is the second CNBC-branded channel in India, after the English-language CNBC-TV18. Later, in 2014, the Gujarati channel CNBC Bajar was launched.
