India TV is the nation’s leading Hindi news channel and has consistently topped the news charts. Its success has been possible due to its fast-paced consistency and credibility in reporting events that take place in India and the rest of the world.

Rajat Sharma, one of the pioneers of TV journalism in India, has been leading India TV from the front with his two most popular shows, the longest-running TV show, Aap Ki Adalat, and the daily prime-time news show, Aaj Ki Baat. A Padma Bhushan awardee, Rajat Sharma has been grilling political leaders, prime ministers, film stars, godmen, and artists for the last 27 years, while his prime-time show Aaj Ki Baat encapsulates the happenings of the day in a fast-paced format.

Dhawan is the livewire behind-the-scenes person who has been directing the Aap Ki Adalat show since its inception in 1993. Apart from her onerous responsibilities in management, she has been the brain behind the new look of the India TV channel, heading the massive team effort between anchors, producers, reporters, camerapersons, graphics designers, video editors, and programmers, lending panache to the overall news telecast.
