Arnab Goswami BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Arnab Goswami has dominated headlines these past few days, largely thanks to his exclusive, high-profile interviews and coverage of transformative national economic reforms. In the spotlight, his interview with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Republic TV’s 'Nation Wants to Know' has become the talk of the town. On September 7, he grilled Sitharaman about the Modi government’s GST reforms, and the country was buzzing as she dropped game-changing comments about US tariffs and India’s diplomatic stance post-Trump. She offered what’s being dubbed her “most direct response” to the Trump team’s controversial remarks, stating on record, “People of India feel insulted,” and handed a sharp rebuttal to both Donald Trump and Peter Navarro’s so-called Brahmin theory. The show’s highlight was her declaration of intent for an ongoing US-India trade deal, insisting negotiations are happening behind the scenes and holding open the possibility of agreement, despite diplomatic dustups, a clear coup for Arnab’s platform in Indian business news according to Republic World’s own report and live YouTube coverage.
Just days earlier, Sitharaman also joined Republic TV for a segment teasing GST reforms planned for rollout on September 22. She explained that the reforms constitute “one of the boldest and most historic tax reforms in independent India,” simplifying the GST to dual-rate slabs and aiming to boost affordability, consumption, and economic efficiency—a message Arnab amplified across all his platforms. Health insurance and other services are set to benefit, with analysts, guests, and callers confirming on Arnab’s live shows that premiums could drop a full 18 percent after the reforms, a direct pocketbook win for Indian consumers and voters, as debated with viewers on his highly interactive debates. Arnab’s relentless coverage and challenging questions have helped solidify Republic TV’s image as India’s leading English news channel, a point driven home with the channel’s constant live updates and top-trending debates on GST, Indo-US trade, and global politics.
On social media, Arnab Goswami’s hashtags like #NationWantsToKnow, #GSTReforms, and #ArnabGoswamiLive have spiked, reflecting his near-constant trending status, with Republic TV’s clips circulating thousands of comments praising or critiquing his direct style. As for business activities, his interview series and panel debates have enhanced Republic’s market position, drawing advertisers ahead of the crucial September 22 GST launch. No major public controversies have surfaced except for a resurfacing of the legacy TRP scam, as the National Herald and Indian Express revive old allegations regarding Arnab's alleged involvement in manipulating television ratings, based on handwritten claims from ex-BARC CEO Partho Dasgupta. While Mumbai Police filed a supplementary chargesheet in January, these reports remain tied to historical events without new evidence or legal action in the past week, making it more background noise than headline scandal unless further developments are confirmed.
Overall, this week has further cemented Arnab Goswami’s image as the go-to anchor for agenda-setting, headline-making interviews at the intersection of politics, economics, and national mood. His facilitation of direct government statements and public policy debate is likely to be of long-term biographical significance, especially as India heads into a period of rapid, reform-driven economic change. Speculation about his influence and reach on future economic and political narratives is growing, but whether admiration or criticism, Arnab is once again center stage, and nobody’s looking away.
