      India Today and AajTak Input Team Intern

      During my internship at The India Today Group, India’s most respected and diversified media conglomerate, I worked as a member of the Input Team—primary filter of news channels—under the renowned journalist, Mr. Rahul Kanwal. My responsibilities included connecting reporters on air, finding story angles in information. This honed my real-time decision-making skills. Additionally, I was involved in scriptwriting for both the English and Hindi sections for India Today and Aaj Tak news channels, which honed my ability to craft compelling news content under tight timelines. My team played a pivotal role in synthesising major National stories, such as the Lok Sabha portfolio allocation, Pune car accidents, NEET paper leak scandal, and International incidents like the Kuwait fire, leaders’ meet, and reports on Gaza and Ukraine. A key aspect of my role is ensuring timely updates to the data hub of India Today and Aaj Tak; involving layering stories and performing multiple verifications to maintain the news’ authenticity and impact when developed into stories for television and digital/social media platforms.The intensive experience sharpened my analytical, communication, technical, and collaborative skills, deepened my understanding of a top media house, and solidified my passion for journalism through crucial real-time insights.
