A preview of the online digital channel that covers trends from Fashion & Lifestyle to Business, Politics, Sports, Music, Gadgets and much more was showcased at the event as part of the launch.

Trendspottters.tv is supposed to be India’s first “trendspotting” network that will try and pull out trends that could make it big in the future from across the country. There will be a team of dedicated trendspotters who will aim to pick these cool styles out through networking. The group will consist of handpicked bunch of 18 to 30-year-olds who are essentially early adopters of new styles. Their focus will be on showcasing micro-trends – fads that could be the next big thing.
