He has been a radio host and producer with NewsTalk Sauga 960, and also hosted an hour long online radio show showcasing south Asian communities doing extraordinary things. He was a television host with Rogers for seven years, specializing in business reporting prior to joining CBC Toronto in 2020. Last year, he helped to launch the first CBC Brampton Backpack Bureau as a Reporter/Editor where he produced stories about the city – shining a light on their BIPOC population under 40.
Nanwa prides himself on his community activity. He works with not-for-profits on events to showcase emerging artists, and is often found on a stage as an emcee at festivals, concerts and political townhalls. In 2017, he received a Top 40 under 40 Award from the Brampton Chamber of Commerce for his personal and professional contributions to community.
