Before joining the BBC, Rabindra Mishra worked for Nepal Television. He also worked for a major English newspaper in Pakistan called The News International. In 1995, he joined the BBC World Service as a producer for their Nepali Service.
Later, he worked on big English-language radio shows like World Today and Newshour. In 2006, he became the chief editor of the BBC Nepali Service. This meant he was in charge of all the news and programs for the Nepali section of the BBC.
His Political Path
On February 28, 2017, Rabindra Mishra left his job at BBC Nepali to start a career in politics. He said he wanted to create a place where honest and skilled Nepalis could work together. His goal was to make politics in Nepal clean and help the country grow.
The very next day, on March 1, he went to the Election Commission. He asked to register a new political party called Sajha Party (which means "Common Party"). He also chose a weighing scale as the symbol for his new party.
