Pooja was born in Kochi and raised on a mix of newspapers, pop culture, and too many questions. She studied Communicative English and Journalism before earning her Master’s in Journalism from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, and began her career interning at The Times of India and Channel I'M — where she later became a news anchor, scripting and presenting her own stories. Between deadlines, she’s worked across digital media platforms, covering politics, gender, pop culture, cinema, and everything in between. She has interviewed actors, creators, and changemakers, and occasionally edits her own video content — thanks to being certified in Photoshop and InDesign. In 2025, she joined the Asian Media Group in her first “official” newsroom gig, where she now covers entertainment, lifestyle, and the layered realities of South Asian identity. She believes storytelling should feel personal — even when it’s public — and likes to write not to please, but to provoke, question, and occasionally stir the pot.

The secrets of visionary leaders: Create change before it’s urgent

Why Visionary Leaders Embrace Change Before It Becomes Urgent

Most leaders don’t ignore change because they’re indifferent — they ignore it because, in the moment, it doesn’t feel pressing. When the figures look positive and operations are ticking along, making time for possibility can seem indulgent. But this is exactly what sets visionary leaders apart from the merely competent: they create space to reimagine before crisis demands it.
