The show will bring exclusive interviews with top notch CEOs over a gaming session of Golf -- a sport that challenges their physical skills and, more importantly, mental resilience.

Announcing the launch, Vikram Chandra, Managing Editor, NDTV Profit, said, ''They say 30 per cent of the world's biggest business deals are sealed on the Golf links. NDTV Profit is proud to turn this concept into a show that will bring to the viewers the real masters of the game who have made winning strokes both on and off the field.'' It is well accepted that golf as a sport reveals character. Top notch business executives have been known to use time on the golf course to plan business strategies, gain intimate knowledge of business associates, and strike the biggest deals over a shot on the greens.

'Business on Course' will spend half an hour every weekend evaluating the golf swing with CEOs on some of the best fairways across the country. With names like Pawan Munjal (Hero Honda), Gunit Chadha (Deutsche Bank, India), Arvind Thakur (NIIT) and V K Sibal (Directorate General of Hydrocarbons) teeing off on 'Business on Course', the show will bring to its viwers a side of the best business minds, giving a fair glimpse of their business acumen and the psychology of business.

Mr Chandra said discussions would focus on business strategies that they advocated as amateurs, the faults and mistakes they have made and learnt from. Until the present time with well honed skills and elegant swings, how they navigate themselves and their corporations through the intimidating course of business. From interesting golfing lessons that have taught them business prowess and pars for the course to birdies they have scored.

''It is going to be a complete show on interesting experiences these businessmen have been through in their lives to be the pros and icons they are today,'' Mr Chandra said.
