I am a Bangalore-based freelance journalist specializing in technology—particularly IT, electronics, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence—and I also work as a research analyst.

Bangalore, the pulsating heart of southern India, is a city that breathes technology. It is a city synonymous with IT, where the lifeblood of its economy flows through lines of code and tech innovation – it literally thrives on streams of code and waves of innovation, earning it a reputation as the IT capital of the country. Yes, the city is notorious for its traffic snarls—a daily reminder of its rapid growth—but that’s a small trade-off for being at the forefront of the global tech landscape. And, the best part of all this is the weather - many claim is the best in the country, if not the world, and offers a refreshing counterpoint to the hustle and bustle of its tech-fueled lifestyle. Even politics here seems to dance to the rhythm of IT and electronics—though that’s a story for another day and another platform. For now, Bangalore remains a fascinating blend of chaos, code, and charm and I believe I am extremely lucky to be reporting from here.

Since 2008, I have been freelancing for several leading international publications, including Fortune (US), Nikkei Electronics Asia(Hong Kong), TelecomAsia (Hong Kong), EE Times, (US), EETimes, (Asia), The Edge (Malaysia), ITWire (Australia), and The Ojo Yoshida Report (US).

Before my freelance journey, I spent over a decade with The Times of India Group, one of India’s most prominent media houses. At The Times of India in Bangalore, I covered IT for nearly eight years and earlier spent three years with The Economic Times in Chennai, covering business and technology beats.

Had started my journalistic journey with The Financial Express, part of The Indian Express group in Chennai, reporting on business beats during an era when IT journalism was still in its infancy. Later, I was part of the electronic media, anchoring Business Plus on Plus Channel, part of Doordarshan based in Chennai.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing many global icons, including Bill Gates (Microsoft), Scott McNealy (Sun Microsystems), Craig Barrett (Intel), Larry Ellison (Oracle), and David Filo (Yahoo! co-founder). Among Indian leaders, I’ve spoken with visionaries like Infosys Chairman Narayana Murthy, Wipro Chief Executive Azim Premji, TCS’ Ramadorai, and HCL Chairman Shiv Nadar, to name a few.

Current Focus

Today, my expertise lies in semiconductors, electronics, and AI. I write on start-ups and established players, crafting human-interest stories that weave technology into relatable narratives or distilling complex technological advancements into accessible, engaging content. I also take on research and analytical assignments, helping organizations decode the latest industry trends.

Writing Philosophy

Through years of experience, I’ve honed the ability to connect the dots—whether it’s unravelling the nuances of cutting-edge technologies or presenting 50 shades of tech in a story that captivates both experts and everyday readers. My mission remains simple: to inform, engage, and communicate through impactful journalism.

And the journey continues...
