NDTV has announced the appointment of Rohit Vishwakarma as its new Managing Editor of NDTV India.
With over 21 years in broadcast and digital media, Vishwakarma brings a rare blend of newsroom instinct, multilingual experience, and disruptive content innovation.
A graduate of IIMC and MICA, Vishwakarma began his career at Star News, where he was part of some of the most-watched primetime programming. Over the years, he went on to lead editorial functions at India TV, Aaj Tak, TV9, NDTV 24×7, Editorji, and most recently at RTV News Network, which he launched in 2023 as Editorial Director
In 2019, he became the youngest Managing Editor of a national news channel, a milestone that underscored both his capability and credibility. What truly distinguishes him is his linguistic agility and cultural intelligence. He was also appointed as the first non-Marathi editor to take TV9 Marathi. That feat was soon mirrored in Telugu markets, affirming his deep understanding of diverse viewer sensibilities.
Rohit Vishwakarma said, “News can no longer afford to speak from a pedestal. It has to speak from the ground up, and it must do so with honesty, humility, and purpose. NDTV has always stood for credibility. My goal is to build on that trust and take it to a generation that demands transparency, participation, and truth without filters.”
Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of NDTV said, “Rohit’s return is both a homecoming and a leap forward. His work speaks to the kind of newsroom we are building – grounded, bold, and built for a new India.”
