She updated her LinkedIn and Twitter accounts to reflect the move.

Have always admired Beddoe’s leadership in the Apac region and Sanjay Gupta’s ‘local, simple and innovative’ vision that have made India so important. Most importantly, building on the India News team’s extensive work and executing for India’s most diverse news ecosystem will indeed be a privilege."
