Singapore, June 2025 — Suranjana Tewari has been promoted to the role of Asia Business Correspondent at BBC News, a move that reflects both her deep expertise in regional journalism and the organization’s commitment to expanding its economic and policy coverage across Asia. With over a decade of experience in global journalism, including nearly nine years at the BBC, Suranjana brings to this role a distinctive voice rooted in rigorous reporting and a nuanced understanding of Asia’s dynamic business landscape.
During her tenure at BBC News, Suranjana has held several impactful roles, including India Business Editor, Digital News Editor, and Senior Journalist/Reporter, where she reported across platforms and helmed key business stories from Singapore, India, and beyond. In her current role, she is expected to drive in-depth coverage of economic trends, trade policies, and financial developments that shape the region’s global narrative.
Prior to joining BBC, she worked as a Reporter & Producer at Thomson Reuters and as a News Producer and Editor at Al Jazeera English, contributing to major stories like the Arab Spring and the US Elections of 2012. Suranjana’s early experience in London and Mumbai with Reuters and CNN shaped her globally attuned journalistic instincts. Her editorial versatility—spanning television, digital, and radio—positions her uniquely to lead BBC’s Asia business storytelling.
In her new mandate, Suranjana will be covering emerging markets, cross-border trade, tech innovation, and sustainability themes while continuing to build BBC’s footprint as a global economic news leader. Her promotion aligns with BBC’s broader strategy of investing in regional voices that bring context, clarity, and compelling analysis to the newsroom.
