Hi THERE, I’M

Karishma
Bhansali Mehta

Moderator • MC • Podcast Host
Program Curator • Journalist

I create spaces where meaningful dialogue happens and transformation follows. For over two decades, I’ve been trusted to facilitate conversations that matter: from interviewing Heads of State for the EU press corps and  the NATO Secretary  General for NDTV to moderating intimate CEO roundtables and designing life-long learning programs with thought leaders like Marisa Peer and Human Garage.

I design and host high-impact conversations from live events,

panels, podcasts and fireside chats that blend intellect with

Whether it’s a corporate leadership forum, 
a women’s empowerment summit, or a conscious parenting series, I help organizations and individuals engage audiences authentically, create psychological safety, 
and spark genuine connection.

Rooted in two decades of journalism, I bring
the skill to extract depth from every story
and the empathy to hold space for every
voice. I don’t just moderate, I architect experiences where people feel seen, 
heard, and inspired to act.

Who I work with:

Organizations seeking expert moderation for high-profile events

Brands amplifying stories around wellness, education, innovation, and inclusion

Thought leaders and changemakers ready to share their message with impact

Let’s Work Together

My career began in Brussels covering EU-India affairs for 500+ outlets and interviewing global leaders. My bylines have appeared in Newsweek, The Times of India, Gulf News, and more. In 2016, I received an award for Broadcast Journalism from the World Media Academy.

I’ve also founded As We Speak, a platform exploring 21st-century parenting through the lens of technology, sustainability, and mental health and served as Programme Head of the SIG Learning Series, collaborating with global personalities in friends ranging from wellness to women’s empowerment and communication to self development and education

I believe words, when voiced with intention, have the power to connect, heal, and spark change.

I’ve been using my voice to move people since childhood-singing solos, ddelivering speeches and debating, singing solos and performing in plays. That passion has never left me. It’s the work I remain dedicated to today.

If this resonates with you, let’s create something meaningful together.
