NEW DELHI — Renowned journalist Palki Sharma has officially announced the launch of India Global Review (IGR), a digital-first media venture aimed at redefining international news coverage. Headquartered in India, the platform seeks to provide “clarity, context, and perspective” on global events through a distinctly Indian viewpoint.
A Global Digital Footprint
Headquartered in India, IGR is designed for a worldwide audience with a planned rollout across the United States, Europe, West Asia, South Asia, and Africa.
-
Accessibility: The platform will be available via major internet platforms and Connected TV (CTV) ecosystems.
-
Institutional Backing: The company has secured significant funding from distinguished institutional investors to support its initial operations and aggressive scaling.
“Facts Over Polarisation”
Speaking on the launch, Founder Palki Sharma emphasized India’s shifting role in the global landscape. “India is no longer just part of the global conversation; it is shaping it,” she stated. Sharma noted that in a “noisy and polarised” media environment, IGR will prioritize independent, fact-based reporting to provide a credible alternative for global viewers.
Global Expansion & Hiring
To support its ambition of establishing international bureaus and a worldwide reporter network, IGR has initiated a major hiring drive. The company is currently recruiting across editorial, production, and digital roles in multiple international geographies.
About the Founder
Palki Sharma brings over 24 years of experience across print, television, and digital media to this new venture. She recently stepped down as the Managing Editor of Firstpost (Network18) to build IGR. Her previous work has been widely recognized for bringing a sharp, analytical Indian perspective to complex geopolitical issues.
The launch of IGR marks a significant moment for Indian media, signaling a bold move to compete directly with established Western news giants on the global stage.
