A journalist since 1996, I’ve done nearly everything the publishing world had to offer. Dailies, weeklies, magazines, websites. I have written for Mint, The Man, The Sunday Guardian, Worldstart, SilverKris, M, Touchdown, and Men’s Health, among others. In 2018, I was a finalist for Media Person of the Year at the Namma Bengaluru Awards. In 2024, Christ University asked me to help revise their journalism curriculum, a request that told me the questions I’d been asking in newsrooms for three decades were still worth asking in classrooms.
I am the Editor and Publisher of Residents Watch, a publication that began in 2012 as a monthly print magazine for HSR Layout, Bangalore, and became a daily news channel for the neighbourhood in 2018. By 2019, it had grown to cover Whitefield, Bellandur, Koramangala, and Indiranagar. In 2020, Residents Watch received the Google News Initiative Journalism Fund. It now runs as an online news and analysis portal where local stories meet global conversations.
I co-authored Mind Blogs 1.0, a book of non-fiction, and served as Festival Director of The Times of India Literary Carnival in January 2014. Tuhin A Sinha featured me in his book, Daddy: The Birth of a Father.
My last newsroom post was City Editor of MiD DAY, the daily tabloid I helped launch in Bangalore. I have over 3,000 bylines across publications in India and abroad, some of which I have collected in the Portfolio section of this site. I still freelance as a writer, editor, and photographer.
These days, most of my writing energy goes into Write Wing Media, a content marketing and SEO agency I founded for founders, healthcare practitioners, real estate professionals, and growth-stage companies across Bangalore, San Francisco, Austin, and Dubai. Through it, I help people build authority the way a journalist would: with websites, blogs, case studies, thought leadership, video scripts, books, and newsletters built to be found and trusted in an AI-driven search landscape. The instincts that once told me which story would matter to a reader now tell me which content will earn a client’s visibility, leads, and growth, the work hasn’t changed as much as the medium has.
A related project, Green Card For Alien, applies the same instinct for evidence and narrative to a different kind of writing: EB-1A and EB-2 NIW petition statements for immigrants whose careers deserve a fair hearing.
