I create spaces where meaningful dialogue happens and transformation follows. I’ve been trusted to facilitate conversations that matter — from interviewing Heads of State for the EU press corps and the NATO Secretary General for NDTV, to moderating CEO roundtables and designing life long learning programs with thought leaders like Marisa Peer and Human Garage.
I design and host high-impact conversations — podcasts, panels, fireside chats, and live events — that blend intellect with empathy. Rooted in two decades of journalism, I bring the skill to extract depth from every story and the empathy to hold space for every voice. I don’t just moderate — I architect experiences where people feel seen, heard, and inspired to act.
I partner with organizations to design and deliver programs that spark meaningful dialogue, strengthen brand authority, and build engaged communities.

Why education must move beyond outdated models and metrics to help young people develop curiosity, confidence, and a sense of purpose in a rapidly changing world.
Drawing on her experience of growing up visibly different, Karishma explores why the qualities that make us stand out are often the very ones that fuel creativity, resilience, and innovation.
Why competence doesn’t always translate into confidence and how culture, education, and expectation shape who feels able to speak up and be heard.
In a world obsessed with answers, Karishma makes the case for curiosity as the skill that drives better thinking, deeper learning, and more meaningful leadership.
