I am Kanika Dhupar, a Consultant at Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India. With over 12 years in communication, public policy, and multi-stakeholder engagement, I specialize in streamlining business processes for industrial and economic growth. I have closely worked with multinational companies, where I helped them align initiatives with national priorities in sustainability, women empowerment, and skilling. My expertise extends to governance intricacies at both Central and State levels. Formerly with national dailies such as Hindustan Times, The Tribune, and The Indian Express, I also worked as the Southeast-Asia producer with Barcroft Media (now 'truly'), London. I hold a Journalism Masters and remain dedicated to steering a positive change within India's business and economic landscape.
