Vijay Harshwardhan Malik, an honest and principled CEO, runs the television channel India 24/7. He is committed to factual reporting and promotes messages of communal harmony, contrasting with his rival's sensationalism. His leadership sets the foundational tone of integrity for the channel.

India 24/7 faces declining ratings and advertisement revenues, leading COO Nalini Kashyap to reveal that TRPs are at an all-time low. The channel's competitive position worsens as Amrish Kakkar's channel thrives with aesthetic journalism. Vijay tries to maintain his principles amidst the financial difficulties.

Journalist Purab Shastri, who admires Vijay’s ethics, joins India 24/7. His arrival introduces a new perspective on integrity, even as the channel struggles economically. Purab's qualities stand out as he upholds journalistic principles in a challenging environment.

Vijay's son Jay becomes worried about the channel’s declining financial health and proposes launching more mass-appealing channels. Vijay reluctantly agrees to this shift to ensure salaries are paid, risking the channel's ethical standing, while Purab protests against compromising integrity.

Nalini Kashyap, secretly working for Amrish Kakkar, leaks sensitive insider information about India 24/7. This betrayal enables Amrish to gain a strategic advantage over Vijay by staying ahead in the ratings and influence, worsening the channel's crisis.

Jai makes a deal with the corrupt opposition leader Mohan Pandey to frame the Prime Minister Digvijay Hooda for a terror attack. Jai plans to use the scandal to secure funding for his own channel with the help of mafia-politician alliances.

Jai shoots a false video claiming the PM's involvement in plotting a bomb blast, under pressure from Pandey. The fabricated evidence results in widespread scandal, leading to the Prime Minister’s downfall and Pandey’s election victory as Prime Minister.

Purab suspects foul play after noticing benefits to their declining channel and uncovers a conspiracy involving Jai’s friend Khanna, who turns out to be working for Jai. His investigation reveals that Jai is working with Pandey to create false stories against the PM.

Purab collects evidence, including security footage, proving Jai’s involvement in the conspiracy and Khanna’s connection to Jai. Despite facing threats, he records conversations and presents evidence to Vijay and others, exposing the corruption behind the scandal.

Vijay Malik, overwhelmed by the scandal, decides to go on air and expose the conspiracy involving Pandey, Jai, and others. The channel’s crisis culminates in political upheaval, with Pandey facing public outrage after becoming Prime Minister, and widespread repercussions in media and politics.

Following the scandal, Vijay’s daughter Priya leaves her husband Naveen and takes their son with her, indicating personal rifts caused by the turmoil. Jay, unable to cope with guilt and the shame, commits suicide by jumping from his apartment balcony.

Amrish Kakkar hires a lawyer to avoid legal repercussions after his involvement is exposed. Vijay resigns as CEO of India 24/7, acknowledging the loss of his ethical ideals. Purab takes over as CEO, ready to expose ongoing corruption and rebuild the channel’s integrity.
