Saurabh Agrawal

As a Senior Content Strategist and Assistant Editor, I bring over 12 years of experience in digital and broadcast journalism to the intersection of defense, military strategy, and global geopolitics. Currently leading video strategy at Indiatimes (Times Internet Ltd.), I specialize in producing high-impact narratives that decode complex international affairs for digital audiences. My recent work includes producing and anchoring in-depth video series that analyze major global flashpoints, such as the Russia-Ukraine and Iran-Israel conflicts, as well as directing flagship documentaries like Frontlines (Season 3) and Children of Terror.

My career is built on a foundation of rigorous broadcast production, having managed international distribution for Aajtak (TV Today Network) and produced prime-time programming for India News, where I played a key role in covering the 2014 General Assembly Elections. This long-standing commitment to defense journalism began during my early work with Defense and Security Alert Magazine, where I focused on national security and defense technology.

I believe in leveraging technology to enhance editorial precision and accuracy. I am adept at integrating Generative AI and AI-powered tools to optimize production workflows and maximize audience engagement. My technical toolkit includes advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and SEO optimization, complemented by academic credentials in Global Diplomacy, International Security Management, and International Law.

Beyond the newsroom, I possess deep domain expertise in Indian culture and mythology, rooted in an immersive month-long ethnographic study and dissertation conducted at the 2013 Kumbh Mela. This unique blend of investigative rigor, technical mastery, and cultural intelligence allows me to offer a nuanced perspective as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for think tank research, defense editorial projects, and the refinement of culturally sensitive AI platforms.
