Summary
A technology and business journalist with 20 years of experience, I am currently the Head of Operations for Founding Fuel, a technology-led start-up focused on entrepreneurship. We describe ourselves as a hub for entrepreneurs—the go-to place for ideas, insights, practices and wisdom essential to build the enterprise of tomorrow. This is my third stint as a core team member at a media start-up. In the past, I have worked at some of the best newsrooms in the country and was part of the founding teams at CHIP and Forbes India. My last assignment was as News Editor at Mint, India's most influential business newspaper. Before that, I have put in a stint at Times of India as well. In my current role, I am responsible for ensuring content meets global quality standards. Along with this, I am also making time to consult as an independent communications specialist for a small selection of clients. I graduated in History with Honours from Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University. My specialties include editing and writing for magazines and newspapers, online journalism, business journalism and communications.
