For the first time ever, the Awards Night will reach an unprecedented global audience across more than 240 countries and territories in 40+ languages on Prime Video, the exclusive streaming partner, in November.
Founded by Prince William in 2020, The Earthshot Prize drives a decade of environmental action. The Awards Night will celebrate the incredible people at the heart of The Earthshot Prize: scientists, entrepreneurs, community changemakers, indigenous leaders, and young innovators addressing the most urgent challenges facing our planet.
Karan Johar , one of India’s most prominent filmmakers, producers, entrepreneurs, broadcasters, and hosts, said, "To host The Earthshot Prize Awards in Mumbai is a privilege that fills me with immense pride. Prince William’s vision for The Earthshot Prize has ignited a global movement of hope, innovation, and urgent action, and India, with its boundless creativity and resilience, is the perfect stage for that mission. I’m honored to welcome brilliant minds and bold changemakers whose ideas can reshape our planet’s future. This is more than an awards ceremony; it is a celebration of humanity’s determination to heal the world, and India is ready to shine.”
Sachin Tendulkar , one of the world’s most celebrated cricketers and a longstanding advocate for social causes, said, “Some of the greatest challenges are overcome when people unite with a shared purpose and the determination to make a difference. The Earthshot Prize celebrates people who are doing exactly that for our planet – turning bold ideas into meaningful action. It is inspiring to see innovators from India and around the world developing solutions that can create lasting change. I am thrilled to be part of this special celebration in Mumbai and to recognise those working towards a healthier and more sustainable future for generations to come.”

There are people across the world doing incredible work to protect and repair our planet, often in ways we may never have imagined. And to have Mumbai bring all these people together feels very special. I’m proud that India gets to be part of this moment, and I’m really looking forward to celebrating the people behind these solutions and the work they’re doing for all of us.”
