Saurabh Dwivedi Resigns from The Lallantop, Ends 12-Year Journey
One of Hindi digital journalism’s most recognisable names, Saurabh Dwivedi, has stepped down from his position at The Lallantop. After leading the platform since its early days and playing a central role in shaping its distinctive style, Dwivedi decided to move on, bringing an end to an association that lasted more than a decade.
He shared the announcement publicly through a heartfelt post on X, reflecting on how the venture grew from a small experimental newsroom into a mainstream media success. Dwivedi credited his colleagues, viewers, and the wider journalistic community for turning Lallantop into a brand known for explainers, interviews, and ground-level political coverage delivered in simple conversational Hindi.
The India Today Group, which owns The Lallantop, has initiated a transition plan following his exit. Senior team members have been assigned new responsibilities to ensure continuity of editorial operations. Reports indicate that Dwivedi intends to take a brief professional break before starting a new chapter in his career, possibly outside the current organisation.
His tenure is widely remembered for programmes that connected strongly with young audiences and for introducing a relatable approach to news presentation. With this resignation, an important era closes at Lallantop—while new possibilities open for the journalist who helped build it from scratch.
