Prior to bdnews24.com, Khalidi acquired experience of journalism at major broadsheet newspapers in Bangladesh both in editorial as well as managerial capacities and for a period was a presenter, producer, and editor at the BBC in the UK. He was educated and trained in Dhaka as well as London, Paris, and Tokyo. As a broadcast, print and digital journalist in Bangladesh and abroad he has covered business, politics, economics, development and foreign affairs among other subjects. He has provided leader commentaries for dissemination in Bangladesh as well as internationally.[7]

Khalidi supports press independence and has publicly spoken of bdnews24.com's commitment to steering clear of political partisanship. It is an ethical stance that has drawn bipartisan support across Bangladesh's polarised society, including in 2013 from the country's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as well as the Leader of the Opposition Khaleda Zia.[8][9][10]

Khalidi has recently been awarded (December 2017) by the Government with a “Special Recognition/Honour” for contribution to the development of ‘Digital Bangladesh’.[11]
