Senior journalist Naveen Gautam has joined Hindi daily Navabharat, marking a new chapter in his three-decade-long media career. He has taken up the role of Special Correspondent in the newspaper’s National Bureau and will be reporting out of Delhi.

Originally from Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, Gautam began his journalism journey in 1996 with Dainik Jagran, where he spent over 24 years in various roles.

Beyond journalism, Gautam has held advisory roles in the government. He was part of the Telecom Advisory Committee and the Task Force for the Ministry of Food Processing Industries during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure. In Narendra Modi’s first term as Prime Minister, he was appointed to the Defence Ministry’s Central Hindi Advisory Committee by then Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
