About

Dynamic, dedicated and determined are the few words that best encapsulate me as a professional. I have spent over 25 years in both print and digital media.My current assingment as Mentor in Khmer Times keeps my very busy in mentoring a battery of Writers and Reporters on daily basis. Prior to this, I served as Chief Editor (Content) in EtvBharat for nearly eight years and held a position of Senior Editor (Foreign Desk) for four years in the Independent (Mauritius) and Himalayan Times (Kathmandu). I also led the Desk of India & Global Affairs (2007). But at the start of my career, I wrote virtually to all major publications, and received a letter of appreciation from none other the great Bernard Levin, unarguably one of the finest journalists of the last century. Also I've been a recipient of two international awards for my writings including the iconic The Moscow News Award.MY STRENGTHS INCLUDE: * Knowledge of print and web space including conceptualising and setting up websites. * Ideating, implementing and putting in place a structure that can generate excellent content. * Sourcing content from different parts of India and abroad.
