Rahul Kanwal, who served as news director at TV Today Network (TVTN) and executive director of Business Today, has announced his departure from India Today Group after more than two decades with the organization.
The news was communicated to employees through an internal email from Kalli Purie, vice-chairperson of India Today Group. Purie described Kanwal’s career as “the quintessential India Today Group narrative—an extraordinary journey of organic growth, limitless opportunities, and a meteoric rise that benefited both sides.”
Having collaborated closely with Kanwal for twelve years, Purie acknowledged his significant contributions in building strong teams and developing impactful editorial properties. She emphasized that while transitions are challenging, they are an inevitable part of the media landscape.
“We thank him for his contribution. He has helped shape our growth story, and our institution is stronger for it. He has mentored a strong second line, which is locked and loaded for what comes next. It’s now your turn to shine,” Purie told employees in her message.
While Kanwal’s future plans remain undisclosed, Purie expressed confidence that his experience at India Today Group would continue to influence his professional journey.
During his extensive career with the network, Kanwal became one of the most recognizable faces in Indian news television, hosting flagship programs and covering major national events.
