Professional Experience:
Currently serving as Principal Correspondent with The Times of India, I specialize in reporting on crime, courts, governance, and human-interest stories, delivering high-impact news coverage that informs, engages, and influences public discourse. Over the years, I have developed expertise in reporting on crime, courts, governance, and human-interest stories, producing high-impact news coverage that informs, engages, and influences public discourse. My work spans 15 districts across the Indore and Ujjain divisions, where I have consistently delivered accurate, well-researched, and compelling narratives under tight deadlines.
In addition to reporting, I bring strong skills in strategic communication, content creation, and storytelling, translating complex information into clear, engaging narratives for diverse audiences. As a Google-certified fact-checker, I have trained journalists in fact-checking methodologies, ensuring credibility and integrity in media content.
My professional journey includes working as a freelancer, stringer, sub-editor, and senior correspondent with leading publications such as DNA and The Times of India across Indore, Bhopal, and New Delhi. I have led investigative projects, editorial planning, and mentorship initiatives, demonstrating a balance of leadership, analytical thinking, and communication skills.
I am now seeking opportunities in communications, media strategy, knowledge management, or development-focused organizations where I can leverage my storytelling, content strategy, and public engagement expertise to create meaningful impact.
