About

I'm a senior reporter with Mint and I write about consumer, healthcare and larger internet trends. Over the last 4 years, I have broken news about important companies in the Indian startup ecosystem including Zomato, Pristyn Care, Zepto, Bounce, Yulu, among others. As an e-commerce reporter, I have spotted trends and explained the business models of several top players such as Dunzo, Amazon, Nykaa, Mamaearth and ONDC. My most recent stint was with YourStory. Prior to that, I have worked with The Hindu's online team and The Morning Context, where I delved deep into unicorn startups and large businesses.
