Nitin Gulati moves on from Inshorts after 10-year stint, reflects on newsroom journey

NOIDA: Nitin Gulati has stepped away from Inshorts after a 10-year association, marking the end of a long editorial stint that saw him rise to the position of managing editor.

Gulati, who joined Inshorts in 2015 as a senior sub-editor, started by summarising news into 60-word formats. Over the years, he was promoted through several roles including news editor, associate editor and eventually managing editor.

In his final role from May 2023 to September 2025, he led a 40-plus member editorial team and worked on improving headline strategy, push notification systems and content workflows. He said these efforts helped improve click-through rates by 20–25 per cent and increased content output by around 25 per cent.

He also introduced AI-based automation in newsroom workflows and worked on cluster-based push notification strategies aimed at improving engagement and personalisation.

Before joining Inshorts, Gulati worked at Zee Media Corporation Ltd as a trainee production executive, and later at TV18 Broadcast Ltd as a desk editor. He also briefly worked as a news trainee and sub editor in earlier newsroom roles.

Separately, Gulati also reflected on upgrading from his long-used iPhone 6S, which he said had been with him since his early days at Inshorts, to a new phone.

He described both the job change and phone upgrade as markers of a new phase after a decade at the organisation.
