About TheHoHalla
TheHoHalla is a Hindi-language digital news platform delivering fast, credible, and hyperlocal coverage across Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, with a strong focus on Lucknow and Kanpur.

About the Role
TheHoHalla is hiring a full-time, on-site Anchor based in Lucknow. The Anchor will be the on-camera face of the newsroom — presenting news bulletins and shows in Hindi, leading live and recorded segments, and hosting on-camera interviews and discussions. We're looking for someone presentable and soft-spoken, with a genuine passion for journalism and the drive to take on challenging, fast-moving assignments — not just reading a script, but out finding ground stories and public opinion, and building the connections that bring in new leads.
