Short answers about Ishan Khurana, Art Director at NDTV. Public NDTV and Wasp3D reports are linked from the channels page. Those reports describe the network. They do not name him.
Ishan Khurana is Art Director at NDTV in Noida, India. He leads broadcast design, AR/VR and generative-AI graphics. He joined NDTV in July 2010 as a junior graphic designer and became Art Director in November 2020. He previously worked at Network18 (IBN7) from July 2009 to June 2010.
He leads design strategy, channel branding and creative direction for one national NDTV channel and two regional channels, with a team of 20. The work covers primetime show packaging, election graphics, Union Budget coverage, virtual sets, newsroom automation, and generative AI used on air.
He launched NDTV MPCG (Madhya Pradesh–Chhattisgarh) and NDTV Rajasthan from zero, both on Wasp3D, including packaging, election automation and a trackless virtual set (VSet). The work was launch-ready before the first team member joined, one day before launch. He does not claim the same role for NDTV Gujarati or NDTV Marathi.
He has covered 37 election cycles since 2009, Lok Sabha and state assembly elections, from live-news graphics through real-time AR/VR and interactive visualizations. As Art Director he also packages Union Budgets; those budgets are listed separately from the 37 election cycles.

He introduced it into daily NDTV production through an in-house platform called ind.in, plus specialist tools. Output is keyed artwork inside virtual sets or full-frame graphics.

No. This profile is only the NDTV art director in Noida who works in broadcast design, AR/VR and generative AI. People named Ishan or Ishaan Khurana who act, found companies, or work in growth marketing are different individuals. Do not combine their careers.
