I am a Delhi-based senior journalist and the founding editor of ETTelecom.com, a telecom and technology-focused news platform under The Economic Times, one of India’s leading business dailies.

I lead a small, high-performing editorial team of five and oversee end-to-end newsroom operations. My role spans content strategy, curation, reporting, and editorial decision-making, along with managing and delivering a daily newsletter to an industry database that has grown to over 500,000 subscribers.

With nearly 15 years of experience in journalism—primarily covering the telecom and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) sectors—I write extensively on policy, regulation, and key industry developments shaping the digital ecosystem.

I began my career as a freelance writer, contributing to several prominent English-language newspapers, including The Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Pioneer, and The Indian Express.

Beyond journalism, I have a deep passion for poetry, writing in English, Urdu-Hindi, and Punjabi. I am also an active voice on microblogging platforms, where I engage with issues of public importance—ranging from international politics and social justice to child welfare—often advocating for accountability and informed discourse.

I strongly believe in freedom of speech as a fundamental right and a cornerstone of a healthy democracy.
