Early life and background

Mayanti Langer Binny was born on 8 February 1985 in Delhi, India. Raised in a family with a strong service background—her father, Sanjiv Langer, served in the Indian Army and worked with the United Nations, and her mother, Preminda Langer, is a teacher—Mayanti spent significant portions of her childhood in the United States. She completed a B.A. (Hons.) at Hindu College, University of Delhi.

From an early age she was interested in sport, particularly football. She played at the school level and received training at the Super Soccer Academy in Delhi. Though she once considered a career in graphic design, an early opportunity as a guest anchor for a FIFA beach football programme set her on the broadcasting path.

Career

Mayanti’s on-screen career began with football-focused programming. She started professionally on the show Football Cafe on Zee Sports and went on to present at major multi-sport and international tournaments. Her résumé includes hosting roles at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and coverage of global events such as the Hockey World Cup, the FIFA World Cup 2010, the 2012 Summer Olympics and multiple ICC cricket events, including the 2015 and 2019 Cricket World Cups.

She expanded into cricket anchoring with ESPN Star Sports during the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Despite setbacks early in her career—she has said she was passed over for Indian Premier League presenting work on several occasions—Mayanti established herself as a familiar face for large-scale international sports broadcasts.

Mayanti is known for her association with football and cricket broadcasting and for combining a formal academic background with hands-on sporting experience.
