About

I last worked as a Digital Content Creator at Economictimes.com (Times Internet), wherein I wrote articles for the international desk, covering news from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The content ranged from entertainment, lifestyle, culture, sports to micro/macroeconomy, politics, local city news, crime, and weather. We were also taught SEO-work such as the use of Google Trends, to pick up trending stories by the hour in each country and find different angles to make our articles more readable.

Before my job at Times Internet, I was a Sub-Editor at The Hindu’s Businessline and part of the Digital Desk. I had to copy-edit articles and check each article for clarity, consistency, free from grammatical errors, and factual inaccuracies sent by the reporters. We also had to manage the live stock market coverage everyday by updating our website’s feed every five minutes. Here, too, I was familiarised with SEO detailing and keyword choices.

Before this, and also my first job was as an Assistant Producer at the Output Desk in NewsX, one of six English national news channels in India. I was assigned to write and edit tickers for the live broadcast of news. Later, I was assigned to write articles for their digital website.

I had written several articles at The Economic Times, however, I shall give a brief summation of some articles which I thought had good detailing and analysis. I had written about how US President Donald Trump was killing the tourism industry in the US, with a $12.5 trillion industry falling down to just $169 billion in a matter of two years or so.

Next, I had written about how a retail grocery chain in Australia known as ‘The Reject Shop’, was being overtaken by their nemesis, ‘Dollarama’, a Canadian enterprise at home turf. I went into deep research to write this story picking up data as far before as 2005 wherein a certain Bain Capital had acquired The Reject Shop for summation of their capital investments in the Australian hotbed.

A sports article I wrote was about Jelena Djokovic, the wife of tennis superstar, Novak Djokovic, and how she stands as a pillar and shaped the nature of the superstar we know. The story was interesting as it dives deep into personal history of theirs and give the audience a peek into nuances of the skills possessed by Novak they might not be aware of, etc. This is the link to the article - https://www.twine.net/signin
