Currently building UnboxingBLR - an initiative to Curate, Facilitate and Catalyze activities/events that will help the Citizens and Communities of Bengaluru better Understand/Participate/Engage with their City.In my previous avatar, I have been a business journalist for close to three decades with stints at India's leading publications including The Economic Times, India Today, Forbes magazine and a brief stint at Seattle Post-Intelligencer in the US. Two experiences in launching new products - Forbes India and Sunday ET Magazine relaunch – offered an important learning curve in crafting a new media product. Each of these stints have come with its own flavours and learnings but what hasn't changed all through the career is doing deep-dive pieces that help readers gain new insights and perspectives on a range of issues. Over the years, one’s journalistic gaze has explored multiple spaces including macro economy, corporate trends, automobile industry, labour markets, organisational issues and startup ecosystems. Exploring unfamiliar territories and mastering them to be able to write authoritatively is the kind of high one seeks as a journalist. My stories often unravel complex issues at the intersection of society, business and economy. Marrying data and on-ground reporting, they help connect the dots and spot trends when they are far in the horizon.Seeing new worlds, building new connections and exploring new unfamiliar territories to bring to the readers compelling and insightful stories is a challenge I totally relish.For somebody constantly seeking a learning curve at work, this works.SPECIALITIES: Future of Work, Automobile industry, Startup ecosystems, real estate, Economy, corporates.SKILLS: Content strategy, ideation, deep dive story-telling, visualisation, managing/anchoring large special packages, INTERESTS: Reading, meeting people, conversations, morning walks, yoga, Vipassana,
