In the business of news for 5 years now. Making my way across India thanks to my career. A media graduate from Symbiosis, Pune, I have earlier worked with Deccan Chronicle (South India's leading English daily), T-Hub (India's largest incubator) and Anthill Ventures (a speed-scaling platform).

Stories, movies and PJs are my thing.

If you hear 'The Office' opening score randomly, don't worry it's just my phone ringing.
