About

A veteran with rich experience across various domains in journalism, media, and diplomacy. My unique approach of simplifying complex topics, making them digestible for readers, coupled with my ability to multitask and lead diverse teams, sets me apart. My work - including with The Hindu BusinessLine, covering political developments, and translating a Tamil book on Indian history—demonstrates my versatility, deep understanding of various sectors, and strategic foresight. I am someone who thrives on staying ahead of the curve, never hesitating to take bold decisions or challenge norms—like predicting Narendra Modi’s rise to power months before the 2014 elections. My approach isn’t just about gathering facts, but also about understanding the broader context and implications. If you're looking to engage more on topics or stories, or perhaps need some fresh perspectives, feel free to share! I’d be happy to dive into any area or brainstorm new ideas with you.
