News Anchor / TV Presenter
Your morning begins at the newsroom at 7 AM reviewing the rundown of stories for the 9 AM live bulletin, preparing anchor questions for a phone-in interview with an economist about RBI's policy decision. On-air, you manage breaking news smoothly — reading a fresh input on a political development live off a teleprompter while maintaining composure, then hosting a prime-time debate panel with three guests on the evening show.
