What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to explore impactful stories and drive social change through journalism.

I am a dedicated journalist with over a decade of experience in reporting and editorial roles. Currently, I serve as a Special Correspondent at The Financial World, where I not only cover significant news events but also manage online news updates. My journey has taken me through various esteemed publications, including Millennium Post and Tehelka Magazine, where I honed my skills in investigative journalism and storytelling.

Throughout my career, I have covered critical events such as the Delhi Riots, the Covid-19 pandemic, and multiple elections, providing in-depth analysis and ground coverage. My work has led to significant revelations, including exposing mismanagement in educational institutions and health infrastructure. I believe in the power of journalism to drive change and hold authorities accountable, and I strive to bring untold stories to light.
