When failure is part of the feminist process
In the midst of difficult changes, the head of a media house struggles to make new meaning of the values her organisation stands for.
Disha is the CEO of Chambal Media, a company that produces media for rural audiences. Chambal Media runs Khabar Lahariya, a news brand where women from remote villages in north India are trained to be professional journalists and produce local news in their languages, from their perspectives. Disha has a master’s degree in gender studies from the University of Warwick, and has been an Acumen Fellow. She has worked in publishing and as a journalist before her journey with Khabar Lahariya.
