He becomes the first Indian actor to present an award at the International Emmy ceremony. NDTV notes that board member Kavita Gupta suggested his name and previously got Vir Das to host the 2024 International Emmys.

Indian Opinion Analysis
Three of the four outlets frame the news as a straight announcement. NDTV stands apart by leading with 'moment of pride' language and giving a named credit to Kavita Gupta for bringing Indian talent to the global stage. The other sources mention Gupta's role briefly or not at all. The balanced reading is that Sethupathi's selection is confirmed uniformly, with the only difference being whether the institutional mechanism behind it is highlighted. No source challenges the facts. The next concrete date is the ceremony on 23 November.
