Sarita Kaushik has become the first woman to hold an editor’s post at a Marathi news channel.

This historic move happened when ABP Majha elevated Kaushik as the Deputy Executive Editor on August 29. She will be taking charge of the entire content of a news channel.

ABP Majha’s entire editorial team will report to Kaushik and she will be reporting to Rajiv Khandekar, Executive Vice President, ABP News and ABP Majha.

Committed to the idea of responsible journalism, Kaushik has a rich experience of almost 25 years in the field. She joined the ABP Network in the year 2008 as Maharashtra region’s bureau chief. She has a vast experience in handling political and internal security beats in print, electronic as well as regional media, according to a media statement from ABP Majha.

She has won prestigious accolades, for many of which she was the first one to receive them after they were instituted — some of them being the first state-level outstanding journalism award by the Mantralaya Vidhimandal Vartahar Sangh at the hands of then Governor Vidyasagar Rao and then Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis; Maharshi Narad Puraskar and the Shobha Vinod Memorial Journalist of the year award at the hands of Shatrughan Sinha.

Kaushik has studied media in the US through the ambassadorial scholarship of the Rotary International. She has also co-edited – ‘Unmasking India’, a best-seller book by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.

Apart from this, she has independently authored ‘Better than the Dream’, which is considered to be a one-of-a-kind narration of an infrastructure project.

ABP Network has always been a proponent of parity for women in the professional as well as personal space. The network is committed to take all the required measures to present an equitable role for women in the organisation.
