Deepanshu Bhandari is a distinguished Indian media professional renowned for his extensive experience in financial journalism and news anchoring. Born and raised in Mumbai, a pulsing cultural city in Maharashtra, he has carved out a special niche for himself as someone who is very much at home cloistered above the news desk, reporting business news.

Early Life and Education

Bhandari’s academic journey began when he attended high school at The Doon School, located in Uttarakhand. He also pursued higher education by studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications at St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai from 2006 to 2009. This solid foundation of education really prepared the way for his big future journalistic adventures.

His time with Zee Business was marked by smart analysis of markets and comprehensive financial coverage—he always managed to earn both kudos from the people who watched and recognition from his peers in the industry, too.

After 15 years of stepping off the beat, reporting on the financial markets, and spending years in front of cameras doing news anchoring, Bhandari decided to take on a new challenge, one that would surely push and excite her.
