Bio

I'm a content and marketing specialist helping legacy brands and startups fine-tune their digital channels and product marketing efforts to find new audiences. I've worked as a multimedia journalist for ESPN, and led a GTM effort for a product for sports content creators at my last startup job.I've been a writer since I won a blogging contest aged 15 with my boyhood team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and wrote under the (edgy) pen name That Guy. Since then, I've combined my love for sports, writing, and web publishing to carve a career which peaked when I landed my dream gig at ESPNcricinfo. I'm now pivoting into the tech and product world.

Content work

I'm experienced across various genres of content. I particularly specialize in editorial strategy and execution and have helmed properties of various kinds. I've covered events live from venues, written deep-dive features, and commentated on high-intensity sporting events - in 2018, a game I commentated on was the second-most engaging sports web page on the internet.

I've worked with names such as ESPN, OnePlus, TEDxBangalore, Sportskeeda, Bangalore Mirror, Catena Media, WSN, and Jaxon. Contact me below for work samples.

Newsletter

I started my newsletter, I Must Tell You, as an exercise to read more. In the newsletter, I list the best journalism, illustrations, photos, and ideas that I come across. There will be (most of the time) a story of the week, followed by three or four other top pieces. All wrapped together with a foreword that will usually include related and embarrassing stories from my life. You can read the archives here and sign up.
