Senior journalist Palki Sharma has launched a new digital-first media platform called India Global Review, marking a new phase in her journalism career after her exit from Firstpost.
The platform, also known as IGR, will focus mainly on international news, geopolitics and global developments. According to Sharma, the idea behind the venture is to present world events with deeper context and from an Indian point of view.
India Global Review is expected to produce digital video content, analysis programmes and global news coverage for audiences in India and abroad. Reports said the platform plans to expand its reach across regions including the United States, Europe, West Asia and Africa.
Speaking about the launch, Sharma said modern audiences are looking for clear, factual and balanced reporting at a time when global news is becoming increasingly fast-paced and polarised. She added that IGR aims to simplify complex international developments for viewers.
Over the years, Sharma has built a strong following through her coverage of global affairs and geopolitical issues. She previously worked with WION and later Firstpost, where her news shows gained large online audiences.
The company has reportedly started building editorial and production teams as part of its expansion plans. Reports also said the platform has received investor backing to support its operations and future growth.
With more audiences consuming news through mobile phones, streaming platforms and social media, several journalists are now building direct digital media brands.
The launch of India Global Review also comes at a time when global news coverage is seeing rising demand among Indian audiences interested in international politics, business and diplomacy.
Media analysts say Sharma’s experience in international reporting and her strong digital presence could help the platform build a significant audience quickly.
