About Ankita Bhatkhande
I am a journalist-turned-social impact communicator with 11+ years of experience across news publications, social impact organisations, and philanthropies. After an enriching career as a reporter with leading Indian newspapers, I transitioned to climate and social impact communications four years ago to focus on amplifying the voices of the most marginalised.My work lies at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and social change. I design bottom-up communication tools and narrative strategies that simplify complex issues, spotlight grassroots realities, and inspire action. Over the years, I have collaborated with NGOs, CSOs, governments, researchers, activists, and journalists to craft campaigns, curate media workshops, and develop social and behaviour change communication materials that drive meaningful programmatic impact.My larger vision is to democratise communication around climate and social justice, ensuring that the voices of vulnerable communities are heard, valued, and drive decision-making.
