In a major move to strengthen its editorial direction, NDTV India has welcomed three distinguished journalists — Subhankar Mishra, Meenakshi Kandwal, and Malika Malhotra — to its newsroom. This strategic recruitment aims to deepen the channel’s commitment to grounded, credible journalism that connects with Bharat’s grassroots narratives.
Subhankar Mishra, a digital powerhouse with over 30 million followers, is one of the most followed Hindi journalists online. Renowned for his strong on-ground presence and focus on India’s underrepresented regions, Mishra brings an authentic, people-centric voice to NDTV India’s coverage.
Meenakshi Kandwal, an established figure in broadcast journalism, brings over a decade of experience covering political affairs, social movements, and disaster reporting. Her clarity, anchoring expertise, and balanced reporting style make her a valuable addition to the editorial leadership.
Malika Malhotra, known for her long-form storytelling, has covered landmark events such as the farmer protests at Singhu border and the Joshimath land subsidence crisis. Her in-depth fieldwork demonstrates a consistent commitment to stories long after they leave the headlines.
Commenting on their induction, Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of NDTV, said:
“Each of them brings something vital — Subhankar’s digital-first energy, Meenakshi’s editorial depth, and Malika’s relentless field presence. They’re not chasing headlines; they’re building trust — that’s the newsroom we’re building.”
This move is part of NDTV India’s broader editorial transformation — a mission centered on credibility, consistency, and meaningful context. With this new team, NDTV India signals a newsroom evolution designed to meet the information needs of an engaged, aware, and evolving Indian audience.
