With grace and gumption, she has changed the way India views female live hosts. She says, “I do not wish to be viewed as a female or male host whilst on stage, my gender is inconsequential to the job at hand, neither as a celebrity do I want to be cast. The quality of my work should be the celebrity, nothing but, skill, voice and content should matter, whether I am talking for a razzmatazz event or one soaked in protocol. How good one looks should be incidental, what one wears should be a part of the overall vibe and what figure your age sit at should be immaterial.” Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres defy these stereotypes. In India, does a male anchor’s shelf life come with an expiry date too? Female news anchors adhere to no such bondage, there, only skill matters. In a category of performers who were for long handcuffed by the male gaze, she has successfully steered the focus onto substance, having redrafted the scope of a female live host’s presence on stage. The agenda now stands rebooted.

“I hope one day I can take my talk, made in India, to the world.” She says, as she walks onto stage, not a man, not a woman, not a celebrity, only a believer in the Fine Art of Talk, to invite the Head of State to address the gathering. Well, they don’t call her one of the most respected anchors of the country for nothing!

“For Go Bananas, when it comes to a certain standard and proficiency we have actually stopped looking anywhere else and always work with Gitika Ganju Dhar. For the Main Bhi Chowkidar event at Talkatora, the expectations were huge. It must have been quite stressful for her as we were connected to 500 locations going live from the stadium where Hon'ble PM was going to do a Q&A. We expected last minute changes considering the scale and also the dependence on network connectivity and they sure did happen. We congratulated ourselves to have kept Gitikka at the helm of this strenuous affairs to deliver/improvise and keep up the level of engagement. All the hours of detailing she does by herself and with the event team makes it a stress free affair for the event company.”
