Mumbai: NDTV India has announced the addition of three seasoned journalists — Subhankar Mishra, Meenakshi Kandwal, and Malika Malhotra — to its editorial team. This move is a part of the network’s strategic editorial shift aimed at reinforcing its commitment to credible, field-driven journalism that resonates with Bharat’s evolving narrative.
Each journalist brings a unique skill set to the table. Subhankar Mishra, with over 30 million followers across platforms, is among the most followed Hindi journalists in the digital space. Known for his powerful on-ground presence, Mishra has consistently reported from underrepresented regions, building trust through his accessibility and regional focus.
Meenakshi Kandwal, a respected name in broadcast journalism, joins with over a decade of experience. Her work spans disaster coverage, political developments, and social issues. With her anchoring strength and clarity in field reporting, she adds balance and depth to the newsroom.
Malika Malhotra’s entry adds a long-format storytelling dimension to NDTV India’s news coverage. From the Singhu border during the farmer protests to her recent reporting from Joshimath, Malhotra has demonstrated tenacity and a commitment to staying with the story even after the headlines fade.
Rahul Kanwal, CEO & Editor-in-Chief, NDTV, said, “Each of them brings something critical to the newsroom — Subhankar’s digital-first strength, Meenakshi’s editorial steadiness, and Malika’s commitment to field reporting. They are not chasing headlines; they are building trust. That’s the direction we are taking.”
This editorial shift is part of NDTV India’s broader mission to create a newsroom built on credibility, consistency, and context, serving the information needs of a more informed and engaged audience.
With this move, NDTV India reaffirms its focus on journalism that reflects persistence, public interest, and purpose — a newsroom realigned for a new India.
