The line-up was announced in a unique way, and commenting on it, Pratiksha Rao from TV and entertainment partnerships at Twitter, said: "The theme of this year's NH7 is Made for Fans so they wanted to celebrate their fans and have them announce the line-up on Twitter, because Twitter is a global town square where people come together to find and discuss their interests.
