Wow Ashwin

Back

"I have found my true calling in television," says Ashwin Mohan. This ambitious Keralite from the 2008 batch of Journalism and Mass Communication, has definitely done XIC proud. Having spent barely four months as a correspondent at CNBC TV 18, Mumbai, Ashwin recently bagged the WOW (Wonderful Original Work) award in the "Best Reporters" category. He received a certificate of excellence from Udayan Mukherjee, the Managing Editor of the channel. Unlike his cheerful demeanor, the beats that Ashwin handles at CNBC are dead serious - Corporate Law and Taxation. His work involves rubbing shoulders with top lawyers like Ram Jethmalani to head honchos at PWC and Ernst &Young. Some of Ashwin's big breaks include exclusive stories on the Ambani brothers tussle and Vijay Mallya's internal strategies related to Kingfisher. At XIC, Ashwin's favorite subjects included Critical Appreciation of Art and News Reporting. He was at his confident best in front of a mike! Fittingly, he has joined an exciting medium ideally suited to his skill sets. We wish Ashwin many more journalistic laurels in future. Kudos to him!
