Biography
From starting as a cub reporter to now developing brand strategy, content planning, and solution building, in the last 15 years, I have worked closely with India’s top media houses, governments, law enforcement agencies, subject experts, and corporates. I am an independent consultant specialising in content, communication, brand strategy, campaign, policy, and digital marketing. From writing content, designing project campaigns, conducting surveys, research, and interviews, to the whitepaper, communications strategy, event & PR management and capacity building, I have led, driven and scaled various news websites from scratch. This along with digital marketing, social media campaigns, webinar, conferences, campaigns, tie-ups, advertising, data analysis, and fact check has helped me remain at the helm of several top media organisations and start-ups. A dedicated journalist with an eye for news, a passion for newsworthy stories, and a reputation for spotless ethics, I have built the country’s first bi-lingual (English & Hindi) Cyber Crime news portal – The420.in along with technology-driven NGO – Future Crime Research Foundation. I run a citizen-based storytelling platform www.atrandom.in. I am a part of country’s first audio based news/content platform Earshot.in and also contribute stories for international digital media and broadcasting companies like Vice India and Zenger News. I have an impeccable record of 15 years of commended performance as a reporter and desk editor for news outlets like India Today, Asianet, Hindustan Times, PTI and Mid-Day. A skilled communicator, writer and photographer, I am someone who believes in adding value to the work I do.
