    NDTV India brings in new editorial trio to deepen ground reporting

    MUMBAI: From Tiktok towns to tractor rallies NDTV India’s newsroom just got sharper, louder and closer to the ground. In a decisive move to recalibrate its editorial voice, NDTV India has announced the addition of three seasoned journalists Subhankar Mishra, Meenakshi Kandwal, and Malika Malhotra to its newsroom. The trio brings a dynamic mix of digital savvy, primetime polish, and fearless field reporting to a channel that’s realigning its compass to reflect Bharat’s heartbeat.

    Subhankar Mishra, with over 30 million followers across platforms, isn’t just a social media juggernaut, he’s one of Hindi journalism’s most recognisable digital-first reporters. Known for his consistent presence in Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns, Subhankar reports from regions often ignored by mainstream media, turning hyperlocal issues into national conversations.

    Meenakshi Kandwal brings more than a decade of anchoring and field reporting experience. From live disaster coverage to investigative field reports, her work is defined by a rare blend of composure and clarity. With a firm grip on the facts and a steady on-air presence, Kandwal is poised to add both credibility and calm to the NDTV India desk.

    Malika Malhotra is the long-hauler of the lot. Whether it was the months-long farmers’ protests at Singhu or the environmental crisis in Joshimath, she’s proven that journalism isn’t just about breaking the news but staying with it long after the headlines fade. Her brand of journalism is patient, persistent and painfully relevant.

    NDTV CEO and editor-in-chief Rahul Kanwal summed it up best saying, “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.”

    The appointments signal more than a staffing shuffle, it’s a deliberate editorial shift. NDTV India is increasingly aiming to serve what it calls the “changing India” with journalism rooted in credibility, consistency, and context, a rare breed in a time of manufactured noise.

    This move is part of a broader evolution at the network, as it sheds the soundbite syndrome and retools itself around deep reporting, trust-building and ground realities. From Twitter trends to tractor trails, NDTV India’s new trio looks ready to walk the talk.

  • NDTV hires Malika Malhotra, backing substance over soundbites

    NDTV hires Malika Malhotra, backing substance over soundbites

    MUMBAI: NDTV has roped in seasoned anchor-reporter Malika Malhotra, adding serious weight to its editorial bench and doubling down on journalism that favours depth over din. With nearly a decade of ground-zero reporting, Malhotra’s induction signals a clear editorial intent — more Bharat, less breaking.

    Malhotra made headlines for her 100-day marathon at Delhi’s Singhu border, covering the farmers’ protest with grit, grace and a near-unheard-of 12-hour daily routine. But what began as an assignment became a calling — one that earned her the trust of protestors and the respect of viewers.

    She’s also among the few to return to stories the rest of the media had moved on from. Her follow-up reporting on the Joshimath land subsidence crisis brought attention back to families still stuck in limbo, proving journalism doesn’t end when the cameras pack up.

    ‘NDTV has always felt like a space that values calm, clarity, and connection. For me journalism is not about being part of the noise, it’s about getting closer to what really matters. That’s the kind of journalism I have always believed in. Audiences today aren’t just looking for news. They want insight, honesty, and a voice that speaks for them — not to them. NDTV has consistently built that trust. I am proud to be part of it,’ Malhotra said on her joining.

    NDTV group CEO & editor-in-chief Rahul Kanwal said, ‘We are very happy to welcome Malika to the NDTV family. She represents the kind of journalism we believe in — honest, grounded, and connected to real people. Her presence will add tremendous value to our editorial direction.’

    Her upcoming show on NDTV India (details under wraps for now) will carry this DNA forward — storytelling that’s relevant, rooted, and refuses to shout for attention.

    In an era of outrage cycles and race-to-the-top tickers, NDTV’s bet on Malhotra is a signal flare: the age of thoughtful, impact-first journalism may just be making a comeback.
