New Delhi: From anchoring Ek Mulaqat on DD News to running Dynamite News, Manoj Tibrewal Aakash has always brought India’s stories to life. Now, he’s taking it a step further with “The Candid Talk” — a podcast that goes beyond headlines.
Manoj Tibrewal Aakash is a name synonymous with insightful journalism in India. With over two decades of experience across print, television, and digital media, he has consistently brought compelling stories to audiences.
From his early days at India Today and The Indian Express to anchoring and reporting on DD News, Aakash has been at the forefront of Indian journalism. His popular show “Ek Mulaqat” became a trusted platform for candid conversations with policymakers, civil servants, and influencers, earning him wide acclaim.
In 2015, Manoj Tibrewal Aakash took a bold step — leaving a secure government-backed role to launch Dynamite News, a 24×7 bilingual digital news platform.
Under his guidance, it quickly became a hub for fearless reporting and impactful storytelling, covering everything from breaking news to in-depth public interest stories. His leadership has established him as one of the most respected media voices of his generation.

From industrialists and celebrities to politicians, lawmakers, and bureaucrats, no perspective is off-limits. It’s not just a conversation; it’s an exploration of ambition, resilience, and vision.
What sets The Candid Talk apart is Aakash’s signature approach — candid, heartfelt, and unfiltered. Listeners can expect deep dives into stories that shape India, from the boardrooms of industrial giants to the corridors of power.
Every episode is a mix of inspiration and insight, a platform where public figures share not just their successes but also the lessons learned along the way.
Having already earned the respect of political leaders, journalists, and audiences nationwide, Aakash’s transition to podcasting feels like a natural evolution.
The Candid Talk is more than a show — it’s a space for ideas that ignite change, stories that motivate, and voices that matter. With his track record, Aakash is poised to make this podcast a must-listen for anyone curious about India’s movers and shakers.
