I’m a journalist working at the intersection of technology, business and culture. My words have appeared in WIRED, BBC, Vice, Rest of World, South China Morning Post, The Economic Times and others.

Most recently, I worked as the South Asia correspondent for Rest of World, a non-profit tech publication focused on covering the impact of technology outside the west. My coverage spanned India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, where I reported on AI’s societal impact, e-commerce, iPhone manufacturing, electric vehicles, and the global influence of Chinese tech. Prior to that, I worked as a tech correspondent for The Economic Times, India’s largest business daily.

In 2024, I received a jury special mention at the One World Media’s New Voice Award for my investigative stories exploring AI’s impact on politics, labor, and employment in South Asia. In 2023, my feature on Foxconn’s struggles in producing iPhones in India won the SABEW Best in Business Award. That same year, I won a South Asia Journalism Association award for my reporting on how a YouTube channel transformed a remote village in Bangladesh. I was shortlisted for True Story Award 2023 for my feature on a Sri Lankan fact checking group fighting state-backed misinformation. In 2022, I was part of the team that won the Society of Publishers in Asia award for excellence in technology reporting for The Global Gig Workers project.

I hold a post graduate diploma from the Asian College of Journalism in Chennai, specializing in business and economics journalism. I completed a bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering.
