ABOUT KARISHMA KOTWAL

I have spent more than 13 years working in one of India’s most demanding information environments as a journalist with The Times of India. My work has focused on communicating complex and high-stakes developments to the public with clarity, accuracy and responsibility.Over the years, I have reported extensively on governance, law enforcement, courts and institutional systems. This work required careful handling of sensitive information, building trusted professional networks, and translating complex developments into clear and credible narratives for large audiences.Through this experience, I have developed strong capabilities in strategic storytelling, media ecosystems, crisis-sensitive communication and information verification. I have also worked closely with editorial, digital and design teams to ensure accurate and timely dissemination of information across platforms.As a certified Google fact-checker and award-winning journalist, I have also contributed to training initiatives focused on verification and responsible information practices.I am now interested in exploring opportunities in corporate communications, public relations and strategic communication roles where these skills can support organisational messaging, stakeholder engagement and reputation management.Core strengths include media understanding, narrative building, crisis-sensitive communication, fact verification and public communication.
