Summary

Results-driven journalist with almost two years of professional experience, combining a passion for storytelling with a proven ability to deliver compelling and accurate content. Skilled in research, interviewing, and multimedia storytelling, I have a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence in every aspect of journalism. Demonstrated proficiency in deadline-driven environments, coupled with a strong understanding of current media trends.

My apprenticeship with the Hindustan Times refined my abilities to produce compelling content under rigorous deadlines while adhering to the highest accuracy standards. This foundation paved the way for my recent tenure at Banking Frontiers, where I specialized in covering the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) and NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Companies) sectors in India and globally.

At Banking Frontiers, I have reported on key topics and trends such as digital transformation in banking, fintech innovations, regulatory changes, risk management, and sustainable finance. My articles have influenced industry discourse, providing insights into how financial institutions navigate the evolving landscape of technology and regulation. Noteworthy interviews with industry leaders and participation in major financial events have enriched my perspectives, enabling me to produce in-depth analyses and thought-provoking content.

My work has significantly contributed to shaping the conversation around finance and banking, both locally and internationally. I have explored the impacts of policy changes, emerging technologies, and market trends in banks, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand. Additionally, my ability to think creatively and suggest captivating headline ideas distinguishes me as a dynamic communicator in the ever-changing world of journalism.
