Career
Initially working in Radio Mirchi and Times Now, Banarjee started working in India Today as a senior correspondent covering stories like the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and the Naxal insurgency. Disillusioned by TV journalism he moved back to Radio Mirchi where he worked till 2018.[1]
While working in radio; Banarjee was inspired to start his YouTube channel as a satirical show mixing humour with political commentary.[4] One of Banarjee’s popular caricatures is Bhakt Banarjee who is portrayed as a fervour supporter of the BJP government and often berates the opposition and people critical of the government.[5] Bhakt Banarjee is often seen interviewing journalists like Ravish Kumar, politicians and other YouTubers like Dhruv Rathee.[6][7]
He has also authored the book “Tales from Shining India and Sinking India” in 2013 about events that took place in recent India and the inner-workings of broadcast television in India.[8] In a review, the Sunday Guardian described it as “lacking substance” and “self-aggrandizement”[9] While Rekhta described it as a “realistic and detailed account on how broadcast media works in the country”[10]
