Frontman of soft rock band Ghalat Family, composer, script-writer and lyricist, Ankur Tewari, is now also programming head of MTV’s brand new indie channel. He speaks to Moeena Halim, about promoting indie music and all things indie

Q. What is special about the new channel?
A. None of what we air is anything you’ve seen on other channels before. What I feel is best for the channel right now is to try and make it as honest and organic as possible. By that I mean there should be no attempt to show off. I am aiming at a clutter-free screen at all times. There will be no appointment-based shows for the first few months. Music will be played on the basis of moods, rather than genre. Instead of full-blown shows we’re going to have snappy eight-minute vignettes, which are being ideated by a young crew of indie artistes; it’s so informal that you might even catch them hanging around in the background on the show.

One For The Road is a show on the channel where musicians will partake in impromptu gigs
