Off The Cuff, or OTC, is a series of candid talk shows launched in January 2016. The event was hosted/anchored as an on-ground event by ThePrintβs Founder and Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta. During the pandemic years, we continued to host OTC, but it had to be confined to an online experience. Now, since May 2025, OTC has returned to its on-ground avatar.
OTC has Shekhar Gupta in conversation with a distinguished guest in the presence of a notable, invited audience. After the initial dialogue between the guest and the moderator, OTC is open to the audience to question and engage with the guest. The idea is to break through the clutter and noise of existing debates on television and other platforms and bring out an engaging, constructive discussion, while also keeping live audiences involved throughout.
OTC is recorded and published on the YouTube channel of ThePrint.
