About

Four years in the newsroom, and a growing life beyond it

Divya Pandey started out chasing sources as an intern, and hasn't slowed down since. Since 2022 she has anchored and produced live news segments across regional broadcasters, conducted interviews with newsmakers and stakeholders, and built a reputation for content that is accurate, timely, and easy to trust.

Alongside the newsroom, Divya has spent the last few years building an independent content practice, working with brands on paid collaborations and producing platform-native content that now reaches over 20,000 followers on Instagram. She is currently completing her MA in Mass Communication, deepening the research and strategy side of a career that started in front of the camera.

"A good story finds you halfway between the truth and the person willing to tell it."
