Veteran journalist Vedika Sud has joined NDTV 24x7 as Consulting Editor, bringing nearly two decades of experience in journalism, reporting, and newsroom leadership.
Over the course of her 19-year career, Sud has covered some of South Asia’s most significant events, earning recognition for her balanced reporting, compelling storytelling, and commitment to factual journalism. One of the most defining phases of her career came during India’s devastating second wave of COVID-19 in 2021, when she reported extensively on the healthcare crisis, shortages of essential medical supplies, and the struggles faced by families across the country.
Before joining NDTV, Sud served as India Bureau Lead at CNN International. In that position, she oversaw coverage across India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, reporting on major developments and collaborating with CNN’s global teams to bring stories from South Asia to international audiences.
Throughout her career, Sud has reported on several major events, including India-Pakistan tensions following the Kashmir terror attack, the G20 Summit in 2023, the refugee crisis along the India-Myanmar border, the farmers’ protests, and environmental issues surrounding Delhi’s landfill sites.
Earlier, Sud worked with the India Today Group, where she anchored major news bulletins and led editorial teams. She also held important positions at NewsX and Times Now, covering elections, security matters, terror incidents, and significant political developments. During these roles, she also mentored young journalists and contributed to newsroom leadership and operations.
An alumna of Sophia College, Mumbai, Sud holds a postgraduate diploma in Social Communications Media from Sophia Polytechnic, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Public Policy from the Takshashila Institution.
Her work has earned industry recognition, including an Honourable Mention at the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) Awards 2024 for her reporting on women’s issues. She was also a finalist in the Essay and Opinion category at the South Asian Journalists Association (SAJA) Awards 2021.
Welcoming Sud to the organisation, Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of NDTV, said her extensive experience, analytical abilities, and global perspective would further strengthen the network’s commitment to delivering insightful and accurate journalism.
Speaking about her new role, Sud said meaningful journalism is not limited to reporting events but also helps audiences understand their significance and wider impact. She added that she is excited to join a newsroom known for credible storytelling and looks forward to bringing greater context, clarity, and deeper understanding to audiences in an increasingly fast-moving news environment.
