Palki Sharma

Palki Sharma Upadhyay is one of India’s most recognised journalists, known for bringing global affairs into everyday conversation with clarity and authority. Over the years, she has built a distinct identity as a presenter who makes international news feel relevant, structured, and easy to understand.

She began her journey at Doordarshan in 2002, before moving to ‘Hindustan Times’ and then spending over a decade at CNN-News18. Her global presence grew significantly during her time at WION, where, as Managing Editor and host of ‘Gravitas’, she became a familiar face for international audiences following major geopolitical developments.

At Firstpost, she continued this trajectory with shows like ‘Vantage’, ‘Flashback’, and ‘Between the Lines’, further strengthening her position as a leading voice on global issues.

In 2026, she stepped into a new chapter by launching "India Global Review", her own global newsroom based in India. The platform reflects her vision of presenting international news through an Indian perspective, marking her shift from anchor to media entrepreneur. Alongside journalism, she has also explored business with her saree brand ‘Revan’.

Her style is defined by composure, precision, and a strong sense of narrative. She brings structure to complex global developments, offering audiences not just information, but context and perspective that stay with them long after the broadcast.
