After being associated with the India Today Group for nearly 12 years, his resignation didn’t come as a surprise. Saurabh himself had already hinted that he wanted to do something new in the next phase of his life. The Group’s Vice Chairperson, Kalli Purie, also clearly stated that this is a well-considered and respectful transition.
Why is this resignation significant?
Saurabh Dwivedi’s departure is significant because he didn’t just build a brand, but also established trust. His departure indicates that The Lallantop is now entering its next phase, where a new generation will take the lead. This change is not one of conflict, but of continuity. A change where new experiments will be undertaken while preserving the old values.
Who is Kuldeep Mishra, who is now leading The Lallantop?
Now, let’s talk about the person who has taken on this responsibility. Kuldeep Mishra is not a name that has suddenly emerged. He has been associated with The Lallantop and India Today Hindi for a long time and understands the pulse of the newsroom very well.
Viewers have seen him on The LT Show, Netanagari, and programs related to national issues. As Executive Editor, he played a crucial role in politics, digital strategy, and content planning. His nearly 14 years of journalistic experience, spanning print, TV, digital, and radio, makes him a well-rounded editor in today’s media landscape.
Kuldeep Mishra’s Journalism Journey: Not just one platform, but the entire system
Kuldeep Mishra’s career has not been limited to a single media house. He worked as Managing Editor at Dainik Jagran, was associated with institutions like BBC News Hindi, Aaj Tak, and Dainik Bhaskar, and then became Executive Editor at India Today Hindi.
Audio journalism has been a particular strength of his. When podcasts were still in their nascent stages in India, Kuldeep played a key role in strengthening Aaj Tak Radio. This is why he not only understands but also embraces changing digital trends.
Life Behind the Camera: What is Kuldeep Mishra like personally?
After becoming Editor-in-Chief, people’s interest in his personal life has naturally increased. But Kuldeep Mishra is very discreet in this regard. He prefers to work away from the limelight.
Kuldeep Mishra’s wife, Pratiksha Pandey
Kuldeep’s wife, Pratiksha Pandey, is herself a well-known journalist. She has worked as a Senior Associate Editor at India Today Hindi. Before that, she was an Editor at YourStory and has also played an active role at The Lallantop for several years. This is a couple that views journalism not just as a profession, but as a responsibility.
A Shared Journey: From Profession to Family
Both studied at Delhi University, albeit in different years. Their closeness grew during their work, and they got engaged in December 2020. They later married, and their son was born on September 28, 2024. This decision reflects her thoughtful and balanced approach. Pratiksha shared her experience of motherhood with great honesty, but kept her child away from public view. The family also includes a pet cat, which often features in her social media posts — a perfectly normal, down-to-earth family.
What does this change signify for The Lallantop?
Kuldeep will now create the future on the foundation that Saurabh laid. This change from Saurabh Dwivedi to Kuldeep Mishra is a transfer of vision as well as a change in position. This is viewed by the India Today Group as a gradual and safe generational transition that will allow the platform to change with the times without losing its character.
A new age in Hindi digital journalism is about to begin. It will be intriguing to observe how The Lallantop evolves in the future. However, one thing is certain: experience, comprehension, and trust were used to make this shift. Expectations are now high for Kuldeep Mishra, and Saurabh Dwivedi’s contribution will go down in history.
