Production
Concept
The concept of the show was not revealed in the Indian media until the show officially went on air on 6 May 2012.[2] There were also no get-togethers, parties or press conferences organized to discuss the content, leading up to the premiere of the show.[6] However, various sources reported the show to be based on "the common man" rather than being fictional.[7] Also, based on its content, it was mostly referred as a talk show discussing social issues like child labour, health problems and other issues affecting the country.[8] Khan, who is known for keeping secrecy for his movies,[8] was quoted saying, "I don`t want to talk much about how the show will be, and about its format. I want everyone to see it directly on TV."[9] However, commenting on the theme of the show, he said, "The show is about meeting the common man of India, connecting with India and its people."[10] He also added, "Through this show we understand the problem of the people, we are not here to make a change. I am no one to change anything. I don`t think I am in the position to change anything else. I feel understanding a problem and feeling it or holding one's hand or hugging is also important. I may not have the solution, but at least I can hear and understand."[9]

Controversy
Palash Sen, the lead singer of the Indian rock band Euphoria sued and sent a legal notice to Ram Sampath, for plagiarism of the title track of the show.[19] Sen commented that, "The trailers and the anthem of this show have been running on television for quite a while, but I had not seen the videos. When I heard it, I was shocked." He claimed that in the year 2000, his band Euphoria released its second album Phir Dhoom, and one of its songs was named "Satyameva Jayate". According to him, the refrain of Ram Sampath's track is exactly the same as the chants in his song. He went on to add that, "They've basically used the same refrain. Jo baaki ka gaana hai (the rest of the song), has different words and tune. But the mainstay of the song — the chorus – is ours." Sen also stated that he wouldn't have minded giving Sampath the permission to use the tune of his version of "Satyamev Jayate" had he asked him for his consent and in return he would have just asked for a small credit to the band for the song.[20]
Broadcast
Satyamev Jayate was the first show of Indian television which aired simultaneously on a private channel network
Satyamev Jayate was dubbed into Kannada but was not broadcast in the language, due to a self-imposed and self-enforced ban by the Kannada film industry, which does not allow a dubbed version of any serial or movie to telecast in the state. The Kannada film industry, however, does approve Kannada remakes of the same.[22] After the first episode, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray requested the Karnataka government to allow the show to be aired. On the issue, Thackeray commented that "This show must not be tied up in parochial chains or barred from the public. This is our view."[23] Khan also requested the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce to allow the show to be aired in Karnataka.[24] The first episode in Kannada was later released on show's official site.[25]
The show premiered on 6 May 2012 and was telecast on Sundays at 11 am IST thereafter. While the channel authorities were high on showcasing it in the prime time at 9 pm,[26] Khan wanted to telecast it on Sunday mornings since the slot was commonly considered as "family TV viewing" time in Indian television after popular shows Mahabharata and Ramayana were aired on Sunday mornings and were highly successful.[8] He was reported saying, "I wanted to telecast my show on Sunday morning. I want each family to watch the show and connect with it. We have watched Ramayana and Mahabharata and it used to come on Sunday morning. The shows created a different atmosphere."[11] He further added that, "I don't understand TRPs and GRPs. I have no idea how to calculate it! I don't care about it. It is important to reach out to the Indian audiences. If viewers want to see, they will see or else it is up to them."[27][28]

Reportedly, this was the highest costing promotional campaign for any Indian television show.[33][34] Besides, the show was also promoted in Indian theaters. The theme song of the show was shown in 300 theaters across the country after the national anthem. In addition, interactive sessions were organized with audiences about the show in selected multiplexes of Mumbai and New Delhi. The responses of the audience were recorded and shown on screen during movie intervals. B. V. Rao of Aamir Khan Productions, claimed that "This is the first time that a TV show is being promoted in cinema halls."[35] On 3 May 2012, Khan appeared on the daily soap Diya Aur Baati Hum, aired on Star Plus to promote the show.[36]

Thoroughly researched covers all aspects touches emotional chord n forces us to reexamine ourselves."[50] While film producer Ekta Kapoor proclaimed the show as "the best show of the decade", film directors Madhur Bhandarkar and Farhan Akhtar also praised the show commenting that the show brought the "desired change" to the small screen[51] and that it is "a show with a heart" respectively.[50] Other high personalities who lauded the show included Salman Khan, Dilip Kumar[52] Preity Zinta, Dia Mirza, Boman Irani, Neha Dhupia, Mandira Bedi, Kabir Bedi, Mini Mathur, Kabir Khan, Maria Goretti, Vishal Dadlani, Ken Ghosh, Harsha Bhogle & Pritish Nandy.[50][53][54][55]

On its premiere day, several topics related to the show were seen
Persistent Systems Ltd, an Indian IT consultancy, was the analytics (insights) partner for this show. Season 1 of Satyamev Jayate garnered 1.2 billion impressions on the web.[61] It ranked as the most talked about new show on the social media in the world.[62] Gigaom[63] quoted that "Satyamev Jayate, one of India’s highest-rated television shows, is using data as a means to effect meaningful change". Persistent Systems used The Big Data Solution to help Satyamev Jayate keep track of how its viewership is interacting with the show. The show aggregated viewers responses from Social Media (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube), Satyamev Jayate Website (SpeakUp and DisQus) as well as from dedicated phone lines for the show. Variety of languages used in the responses, different formats of the responses and the need of unearthing more sentiments from the messages were challenging for the analytics team. The most responses came in Hinglish, a mix of Hindi and English. They were in either text, audio or video format. The analytics were beyond just Praise and Criticism. Persistent Systems had more than 50 tags available for every episode for message analysis.[64] Star India Network's Chief Marketing Officer Gayatri Yadav commented "What social media did was far beyond anything producers anticipated. It took the show and made it the people’s show" about the response from social networking sites.[65]
The issues discussed on the show garnered national attention, with several being discussed in parliament and influencing politicians and lawmakers to take action. After the first episode, for example,
The show has also been well received overseas, including many parts of
