Ambika Anand: From Newsroom to Runway

In this inspiring conversation, I speak with Ambika Anand, a celebrated TV anchor, fashion consultant, and creative storyteller. From starting her career in hardcore business journalism to becoming one of India’s most recognisable lifestyle and fashion voices, Ambika shares her journey of reinvention, bold choices, and staying true to her passion. She reflects on the evolution of Indian audiences, the joy of mentoring brides on her cult show Band Baaja Bride, lessons learned from her time at the ILO in Geneva, and the impact of digital media in empowering women.

Ambika also opens up about overcoming challenges as a woman in journalism, dealing with sceptics, the importance of mentors, and the advice she would give her younger self. The episode ends with a lively, rapid-fire round, offering a glimpse into her personality beyond the spotlight.
