Hi, I am Barkha Mathur

It was my interest in current affairs and keen interest in the doings of world leaders which first lead me to consider a profession in journalism.

​

I was fortunate enough to get an early start in the profession and was lucky to get to work with dynamic teams who propelled me to give my best.

​

Very soon I realized I was on my dream boat, professionally, when I got to interview celebrities and achievers, covered important events like elections and reported news which concerned the society at large.

​

My skills with the language were utilized by team heads who encouraged me to write features on lifestyles trends, fashion, art, music, travel and culture.

​

My sensitivity towards women and children (especially the underprivileged) made me look around for news that could highlight their plight and bring relief to them. This I could do by also writing about people who were making a difference to the society.

​

My special skills have been: The versatility in my writings as I am equally adept in dealing with subjects as varied as politics to sports.

​

I think my emotional quotient is high which helps me to make an instant connect with people and they feel comfortable and confident to share their stories.

​

My strong nose for news has helped me dig out stories which otherwise would have gone unnoticed.
