Senior journalist and news anchor Palki Sharma has resigned from Firstpost, ending her long association with the digital news platform. She is set to launch her own independent media venture, according to sources close to the development.
Palki Sharma became one of Firstpost’s most recognisable faces through her sharp global affairs coverage and opinion-led shows. Over the years, she built a strong audience base with her clear analysis and direct communication style. Her exit marks a major shift in her professional journey.
Following her departure, Firstpost has appointed Binoy Prabhakar as its new Chief Content Officer. Prabhakar previously worked with Hindustan Times Digital, where he played a key role in shaping editorial strategy and digital growth.
The leadership change comes as Firstpost continues to focus on opinion-driven journalism and international news. With Prabhakar at the helm of content, the platform aims to strengthen its editorial direction and expand its digital reach.
Meanwhile, details about Palki Sharma’s upcoming venture remain under wraps. Industry observers expect the project to focus on global issues, independent journalism, and direct engagement with viewers.
The development reflects a growing trend in Indian media, where senior journalists are choosing independent platforms to connect directly with their audiences.
