For the last twenty-five years I have combined storytelling, technical knowledge, and strategic thinking across journalism, digital marketing, and streaming media — and across India, Asia, Europe, and the United States.

In my current role as Chief Strategy Officer at APMC Inc., I help build the future of the media industry — addressing both the commercial and technical challenges of the transition from cable to streaming. Before that, I founded Laminar, a platform that let media companies launch a global, full-featured streaming service in weeks rather than years. Laminar was acquired by APMC in December 2023.

As Chief Digital Officer at Xynteo, I led the digital transformation of a mission-driven firm that works with executive leadership at some of the world’s largest companies — Unilever, Shell, Mastercard — on growth strategy rooted in purpose. Before that I spent six years at Publicis Groupe, using data-driven insight to build breakthrough end-to-end digital programs, and was acqui-hired to build digital teams in India before being asked to build multi-cultural, multi-country teams at the Asia level to serve global and regional clients.

Before any of that, I spent nearly a decade as a journalist — across television (CNN-IBN) and print (Mint, the Wall Street Journal’s India partner). I was part of the launch team of two television channels, and the habit of watching an industry get rewritten from inside has stayed with me ever since.

I have always been passionate about the power of computing and the imagination of science fiction, and I am driven — still — by the need to make a real dent in the world. This journal exists because the working notes got too long for email. I publish essays when an argument has cooled enough to set, and dispatches when something is actually happening and I need to say it quickly. I’m wrong in public when I’m wrong. That is the whole point.
