Previously Shah presented Woman's Hour on Radio 4 and was a launch presenter for The World Today on the World Service.[1]
Ritula was educated at Haberdashers' Aske's School for Girls, Elstree before studying History at the University of Warwick and graduating in 1988. She joined the Radio 4 production team, moved from there to regional television news,[1] and then to Today in 1991 as a producer.[2] When The World Today launched on the World Service in 1999, Shah became one of its presenters.[1]
In May 2013, she started a series of eight episodes in the BBC Radio 4 One to One series of interviews. As she belongs to a Jain family (the Jain religion is concerned with renunciation), the subjects of her interviews are people whose life has involved renunciation.[3]
