A Career Built On Business News
Bakaya's appointment brings a two-decade career in business journalism to the Jindal Steel board. She has anchored business news for NDTV Profit, ET NOW and Bloomberg TV India, three of the country's leading financial news networks, and earlier served as Consultant Anchor for India Today Group's Business Today before a stint of more than two years as Senior Editor and Anchor with the network.
Alongside her media career, Bakaya is the Founder and CEO of Ladies Who Lead, a platform she runs independently of her anchoring work.
Media Experience On An Industrial Board
The appointment adds a journalist with deep experience covering markets, corporate results and business leaders to Jindal Steel's board. Independent director seats going to professionals with communications and media backgrounds rather than purely financial or industrial ones reflect a broader shift in how boards are composed, with companies increasingly drawing on skills beyond traditional operating or finance experience for independent oversight roles.
