In an internal email to employees, Kalli Purie, Vice Chairperson and Executive Editor-in-Chief of TV Today Network, announced that Kanwal will be moving on to explore new opportunities.

She highlighted that his career, from a passionate journalist to a News Director, has been nothing short of remarkable, setting an inspiring precedent for aspiring journalists in the organisation. His story in the quintessential India Today Group narrative- an extraordinary journey of organic growth, limitless opportunities, and a meteoric rise that benefited both sides.
“Over the last twelve years, we have worked closely together, built formidable teams, created powerful editorial IPs, and traversed the length and breadth of our incredible country, collecting memories that will last a lifetime. Our newsroom is the envy of the media ecosystem. Change is never easy, but as news professionals, it is our very lifeblood. It is what drives us forward. There is just so much to do as AI is again opening a new doorway, an exciting inflection point for content creators,” she further wrote.
“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. He may go anywhere, but I know he will always carry a piece of India Today Group with him,” she added.
