Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Neeraj Sanan, VP - Marketing, Star News said, "The effort is geared towards guiding talented individuals to figure out the way to becoming a journalist. Sadly, youngsters with aspirations of making careers as presenters have little clue as to how to go about fulfilling their dreams. Also, the talent hunt aims to underline the fact that being an anchor is not an easy job - it's a serious profession. Genuine talent and sheer hard work is required to be a successful anchor."
