It showcases celebrated authors, book reviews, plot trailers, videos, cover reveals, interviews, and even awards won.
Speaking on the win, Sonali Singh, head (marketing) at HarperCollins India, said, "Harper Broadcast is the vision of our CEO Ananth Padmanabhan and a dedicated team of select senior editorial colleagues who work closely with our digital team to bring out an edition every month and even special editions."
"We feel humbled and take this as a great motivator to continue spreading the joy of books, reading, and celebrating talented authors," she added.
Subhashree Das, HCI's Digital Manager, received the award.
"This award is special to all of us who love books and love to read. It is knowledge sharing in a cool and interesting way! Thank you so much for this appreciation of our unique platform," Das said.
