About

I cover the brands 1.4 billion Indians buy every single day.At CNBC-TV18, I track the sectors that quietly tell you more about India’s economy than any GDP print - FMCG, retail, quick service restaurants, ecommerce, home improvement, and logistics. I came into journalism through a side door. A brief stint at a broking firm building options algorithms convinced me that markets were fascinating, but markets with a story were irresistible. I pitched CNBC-TV18 so relentlessly that the editors eventually decided hiring me was easier than reading my emails. That was 2014. And I’m here since. Armed with a CFA, an MBA in Finance, and a Bachelor’s in Mass Media, I host flagship shows Chartbusters and Trading Hour daily, and special shows including Consumption Corner, The Weekender, Disruptors, and Media Dialogues. Mad About Markets, one of my special series, won Best Business Series in English at both ENBA and ITA.In 2022, Exchange4Media recognised me in their English Journalism 40 Under 40 - a list of professionals shaping media.Numbers tell you what happened. Stories tell you why it matters. At this intersection, I thrive! When I’m not dissecting quarterly results, you’ll find me with headphones on, deep in music, obsessing over sneakers, or chasing a fitness goal I set three Mondays ago.Follow if you care about the Great Indian Consumer Story. I post here regularly.
