A R Hemant is a Head of PR & Communications | Fintech | BFSI | Podcaster | Author | Spokesperson | Ex-Journalist at BankBazaar. They is proficient in English and Hindi. Colleagues describe them as "I worked with Hemant at Yahoo for a little over four years.He was, at the time, part of a very small team dedicated to covering cricket -- a team that won the Yahoo Superstar of the Year award in 2011 for coverage of the cricket World Cup. His competence in sports coverage is a given. What I particularly liked about him during the period of our working relationship was his adaptability. Though cricket, a game that the Indian team plays on average 275 days in a year, is demanding in itself, Yahoo overall was a small team ambitiously aiming to do big things -- which meant that in addition to his day to day responsibilities, I had to often ask Hemant to pitch in and help with coverage in areas that were not part of his core competence. I found him willing, able, and infinitely adaptable, qualities I cherished then, and the reason why now I would unhesitatingly recommend him as an employee who will be an asset to any firm that looks to hire him." and "Hemant was on the Hindustan Times Mumbai sports desk which I led in the 2000s. He was the youngest (and tallest) member of the team. What quickly became evident about Hemant was that he was mature beyond his years. It showed in his writing, which had a flow and steadiness rare for someone in their early 20s. He mostly wrote on cricket and did it with command. At the same time, he liked humour and was up for offbeat articles. Page-making was his other deliverable and he learnt it quickly. Hemant’s conduct left no scope for complaint. He was disciplined, affable and reliable. A good kid through and through. He has gone on to become an author and an expert on matters beyond sport, such as personal finance. His growth does not surprise me. Hemant would be an asset to any organisation. (Just ensure he is well-fed. I don’t know about now but he did have an appetite when we worked together.)"
