In a strategic pivot aimed at diversifying its business model, ITV Network has announced the launch of a new ticketed events vertical. Spearheaded by Akshansh Yadav, Chief Product & Technology Officer at ITV Network, the initiative marks a significant expansion into experiential content and direct audience engagement.
The foray kicks off with the ‘We Women Want’ Conclave, scheduled for August 7 at The Imperial Hotel in New Delhi. The event celebrates the strength and resilience of women and will host a star-studded guest list, including Neha Dhupia, Sunny Leone, Urfi Javed, Nimrat Kaur, Dia Mirza, Ekta Kapoor, and other notable figures. The conclave also introduces the Shakti Awards, set to honour women achievers from diverse fields.
Tickets for the event—available on BookMyShow, District, and the official event site WeWomenWant.com—have received overwhelming public response, with the initial lot sold out within hours of launch. Owing to the high demand, ITV Network has expanded the venue capacity to accommodate more attendees.
“Digital media is evolving, and ticketed events are emerging as the next big wave—offering audiences not just content but immersive experiences. We’re thrilled that our first foray into ticketed events is being met with such enthusiasm, validating our vision for a diversified and future-ready business model,” said Akshansh Yadav.
With media networks around the world increasingly tapping into event IPs as a means of revenue generation and brand extension, ITV Network’s move reflects a growing industry trend. The company aims to position itself at the forefront of this evolution by creating a series of flagship properties that are both commercially viable and socially relevant.
The ‘We Women Want’ Conclave is expected to set the tone for ITV Network’s long-term roadmap in the live events space—one that blends digital influence, community-building, and high-impact storytelling.
