About Me
I am a visual journalist based in London with dual master’s degree in Broadcast Journalism and Mass Communications. With nearly three years in the industry, I have worked as a visual producer, foreign correspondent, anchor, field reporter, and sub-editor in various media organisations. Currently, I am working with Talk as a visual producer and contributing to India’s leading English news channel ‘India Today’ as a foreign correspondent.
As a visual producer, I work on early breakfast shows while solely producing the visual output for live TV. My experience includes covering top-rated Tv news programmes by Alex Salmond (Former First Minister of Scotland), Richard Tice (Leader of Reform UK), Peter Cardwell (Former Special Adviser), Dr. David Bull (Former Member of the European Parliament), and many more. With proficiency in Multicam, I am responsible for preparing straps, writing banners, news tickers, sourcing live feeds and vision mix single-handedly in a live newsroom environment.
I have produced ‘exclusive reports’ for India Today as their London correspondent and covered the protests by Khalistani Extremists outside Indian High Commission in London. Amidst what engaged India and the UK in a week of tense exchanges, I managed to interview Former Khalistan leader Jaswant Singh Thekedar who exposed the Khalistan-ISI link. My ability to cover the protest from the front line provided me with exclusive footages which were played throughout the day on national television in India.
As an MA student in London, I solely produced a video documentary on one of the most debatable and sensitive issues in the country 'Assisted Dying'. I manage to interview three well-known case studies of Britain and an author of the International Best Seller ‘This Is Assisted Dying’, Dr. Stefanie Green. My other documentary on one of the largest and oldest theatre in South London ‘Streatham Hill Theatre’ was premiered in the British capital when David Harewood MBE and Jools Holland OBE DL became the patron of the campaign group. I single-handedly lined up Hustle star Robert Glenister and Cabinet Member for ‘Sustainable Lambeth’ Rezina Chowdhury for this project.
Previously, I interviewed the Health Minister of Madhya Pradesh on the day when India rolled out the world’s largest COVID-19 vaccination drive for NewsMobile (an independent digital news channel based in New Delhi). I also interviewed Bhuri Bai, who was awarded India’s fourth-highest civilian award, the Padma Shri. My other work included investigation into the truth about compensation and the state of ‘The Bhopal Gas Tragedy’ victims who were awaiting justice after 36 years of the world’s worst industrial disaster.
I presented the 'Evening Prime Time' Bulletin for a year for NewsMobile Hindi and previously hosted ‘Morning Show’ in Doordarshan, the first ever channel to be launched in India in 1959. I also developed my skills when I reported from Jammu & Kashmir amid strict president rule and complete communication blackouts.
