Alumni Speaks:
From classroom to newsroom: My path to becoming a Journalist

School days teach us the importance of perseverance and determination. Whether

it's tackling a difficult math problem or preparing for a crucial presentation, we
learn to approach challenges with a positive mindset and make continuous efforts
to improve. These qualities are essential in the professional world, where setbacks
are inevitable, and the ability to bounce back and keep pushing forward is crucial for
success.

In school, I was always interested in writing and journalism but it was not until my final year of high school
that I realized that I wanted to pursue this career path. My parents encouraged me to pursue this career path
by giving me books to read on the profession and by guiding me on how to write stories while being unbiased.
Lucky, right? They often encouraged me to apply for several internships in different companies so that I
could get some practical experience before enrolling in college.

I have always been interested in writing since childhood, but never thought of becoming a journalist until I
came across this beautiful profession. It was only when I came to know that journalism was not just
presenting live reports on TV channels but also reporting and writing that I decided to pursue this career
path.

I graduated from Bennett University in 2020. I did my graduation in Mass Communication and Journalism.
But when I enrolled myself in BU, I didn't know that it would be such an amazing experience for me!

I studied about 50% online and 50% offline. Thanks to Covid-19. Never mind! The classes were conducted by
the senior journalists' faculty members, who have more than a decade of experience, and they taught us the
basic concepts of journalism and mass communication, which were very important for our career life.

After graduation, I started my career as a sub-editor with The Times of India, where I covered technology
stories for Gadgets Now. I had worked there for almost one year, before starting my next career as a Senior
News Analyst with Cognizant.

I have written about technology for one and a half years. At Gadgets Now, I covered the latest trends in
technology, wrote articles on how to use the latest gadgets and reviewed products. As a tech journalist, I've
always been interested in the intersection between technology and society. I've written about everything
from 5G to ChatGPT, and my reporting has taken me to some of the most exciting and luxurious places.

I looked after the social media handles of Gadgets Now and was part of several team projects where we wrote
stories together and produced videos on the topics that we were covering.

Journalism taught me a lot about life in general as well as how important it is to take accurate information
from different sources and present it in an unbiased manner so that people can make informed decisions
based on facts rather than hearsay or rumours.
