Naveen Kapoor takes charge as editor of NDTV World
Seasoned newsroom leader set to sharpen channel’s global edge and deepen editorial depth
MUMBAI: NDTV has brought in seasoned journalist Naveen Kapoor as editor of NDTV World, signalling a confident stride in its bid to widen its international gaze and sharpen its global storytelling.
With more than 25 years in the newsroom trenches, Kapoor is no stranger to building news brands from the ground up. He has been part of the leadership backbone at Times Now, Wion and Press Trust of India, helping shape platforms that now command strong positions in their respective segments.
Welcoming the appointment, CEO and editor-in-chief Rahul Kanwal, said Kapoor’s experience in running complex global newsrooms and scaling editorial operations makes him a natural fit as NDTV World strengthens its international focus.
Before this move, Kapoor served as founding editor of PTI’s video services, where he built a modern television and digital news agency from scratch. From editorial frameworks and newsroom systems to domestic and overseas bureaus, he laid the groundwork for a platform aligned with global standards. Earlier, as head of newsroom at Wion, he helped transform India’s first global news channel into a credible international voice covering geopolitics and world affairs with authority. His stint as senior vice president and chief of news operations at Times Now saw him contribute to the channel’s early editorial and operational architecture during its rise to prominence.
Across assignments, Kapoor has led coverage of defining national and international events, built high-performing teams and championed journalism that balances speed with substance.
An English graduate from Delhi University, Kapoor also holds a diploma in journalism from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. He completed a television journalism course with the Reuters Foundation and trained in broadcast journalism in the United States under the International Visitor Leadership Program.
In his new role, Kapoor will steer the editorial direction of NDTV World, with a clear brief: think globally, report credibly and keep journalism firmly at the centre of the conversation.
