NDTV has announced the appointment of respected defense journalist Shiv Aroor to its news team. Aroor, known for his extensive experience covering defense and national security matters, will be joining the network as part of its continued effort to strengthen its coverage in these critical areas.
Aroor brings with him nearly two decades of journalism experience, having previously worked with India Today as an anchor and defense editor. Throughout his career, he has established himself as one of India’s foremost journalists in defense reporting, with particular expertise in military affairs, weaponry, and geopolitical developments affecting India’s security landscape.
His move to NDTV represents a significant acquisition for the network, which has been rebuilding its team following ownership changes in recent years. Aroor is expected to lead specialized coverage of defense matters and contribute to the channel’s prime-time programming.
A graduate of St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, Aroor has reported from conflict zones and has authored “India’s Most Fearless,” a book documenting accounts of modern military courage. He is also known for his digital presence, including the popular defense blog “Livefist.”
While NDTV has not officially announced Aroor’s specific role at the network, his appointment is seen as part of a broader strategy to enhance the channel’s expertise in specialized reporting areas.
Neither Aroor nor NDTV representatives have commented on the specific terms of his appointment or when viewers can expect to see him on air.
