Rekha Menon

Rekha Menon is an anchor, columnist, and Corporate Communication professional. It was in 1988 when Rekha started her career with Asianet, working behind the camera, in the production, communication, and the public relations department. One of her friends introduced her to an opportunity to host a show. Rekha took that opportunity, and through her hard work and natural charm engaged the audience in such a way that her TV debut program, “FTQ – Face The Q with Rekha Menon,” became an instant hit. Now, she has been maintaining her corporate career and creative life as a TV anchor for 20 years. Rekha’s childhood dream was to get a job in a chocolate factory or marry a bakery owner in London. Rekha has led a rather academic life as a television anchor/researcher, travel writer, scriptwriter, and columnist in South Indian media. She is distinguished for the celebrity interviews she’s held, her travelogues, and hosting quiz shows.

She is a well-known speaker at various forums and platforms in South India. Having established a successful professional life with 20+ years of experience in IT services and the entertainment sector, Rekha dedicates her inspiration to the women in her life, that is, her grandmother Mrs. Sreedevi Menon, her mother, Prof. Vatsala Menon, and her mother-in-law Indira P Bhaskaran. She also has her husband, Ajit, and her son, Avaan, to support her. Rekha has turned away from the societal norms and broken stereotypes set around women and now heads global marketing and communications for a US-based investment bank. Through her achievements, Rekha Menon has earned her place in India Today magazine’s list of the top 25 women achievers in Kerala.
