Founder Sanjay Pandey pitching Newslions Media Network – an India-based international multimedia news agency that covers stories from South Asia, South East Asia and Africa.
“After quitting Reuters to tend to my ailing father in 2013, I got a lot of time to think whether I want to spend my entire life earning a salary and paying bills or pursue my passion — traveling to remotest places and telling stories of real people. When I decided to go freelance, a lot of my colleagues and well-wishers, called it a career suicide. Nevertheless, I decided to take the plunge! Much to my surprise and the surprise of my friends, I started landing one international media gig after another and built a very robust body of work in a span of two years. I was doing the kind of stories that was close to my heart — climate change, women’s issues, mining caused displacement and so on,” says Sanjay.
