MY STORY

In the India of my childhood-the 1970s and 80s-news was a simple, singular event: a  nightly bulletin on Doordarshan, the state television channel. That was our only window to the world.

Everything changed in the 1990’s when India opened up its economy. In a flash, over 100 channels were beaming into homes across the country, flooding our lives with  information, entertainment and sport.It was a wildly exciting time and it lit a fire within a child watching the transformation. I knew I had to be in the news business.

I’ve been a journalist for over 25 years, most of it at CNN and Bloomberg.  I’ve worn many hats in many cities. I’ve been a correspondent, producer, writer anchor, and moderator.I’m driven by the power of words and pictures and am an amateur but enthusiastic photographer. I’m now turning my curiosity to the dynamic world of podcasting – a medium that allows me to tell stories in a new dimension.

Born in Calcutta, I’ve had the privilege of living and working in some of world’s major cities which has given me  a global perspective on the stories I tell and the pictures I take –  while always keeping an eye on my home, India.
