About Dipalkumar Shah

Full-stack producer and journalist with 15 years of experience, including nearly a decade at the BBC, leading impactful journalism from pitch to platform across video, digital, TV, social, and print. Experienced in editorial strategy, investigative reporting, production, and audience engagement. I've worked across beats including disinformation, fact-checking, public policy, environment, health, data journalism, politics, business, and current affairs. At BBC Singapore, I created high-standard global journalism. As a founding team member of BBC News Gujarati, I helped build it into one of the top-performing and most trusted Indian language services, reaching millions. I’ve exposed misinformation, conducted data-led investigations, and used creative storytelling to drive impact. My newsroom experience spans field reporting from conflict zones, leading election coverage, mentoring teams, and managing multi-platform outputs. Certified in HEFAT and TRiM for conflict reporting. My content has been published and translated into 10+ languages including English, Hindi, Gujarati, Urdu, Tamil, and Indonesian. I also led a digital media lab startup, building its editorial and platform infrastructure from scratch.
