About

About Channeliam

Nisha Krishnan is a charismatic, award-winning journalist, visionary media entrepreneur, and founder of channeliam.com, a pioneering digital media platform dedicated to entrepreneurship, startups, business acceleration, emerging technologies, and national economic growth.

Beginning her career in broadcast journalism in 2002, Nisha developed a deep understanding of communication, public engagement, and the transformative power of storytelling. In 2016, she founded channeliam.com with a vision to introduce a new culture of business-focused journalism in Kerala, moving beyond conventional news coverage to celebrate innovation, enterprise, and economic progress.

As Channeliam celebrates its tenth anniversary, the platform has produced more than 15,000 business stories, documenting the journeys of entrepreneurs, startups, established enterprises, and emerging business leaders across India and beyond.

Under her leadership, Channeliam has evolved into a multilingual media platform connecting entrepreneurs with investors, policymakers, institutions, industry leaders, and wider markets. Her commitment to constructive journalism has helped position business storytelling as a catalyst for visibility, credibility, collaboration, and opportunity.

A defining characteristic of Nisha's leadership is her determination to move beyond identifying opportunities toward actively enabling business growth. This vision has inspired the next chapter of Channeliam's journey: Channeliam Strategic Business Advisory, a specialised initiative designed to provide professional, execution-oriented support to ambitious businesses.
