About

32 years. 20 countries. Conferences. Trainings. Hundreds of media interviews. Articles. Podcasts. Many, many stories. I’ve had a front-row seat to the birth and scaling of digital technology — from the early days of PCs in India (1989) and the dawn of the public Internet (1995) to the current frontiers of Cloud, Edge Computing, and agentic AI. After a successful teaching career, I crossed over to tech journalism and became Editor-in-Chief, for three publications. Along the way, I produced conference content for three international conferences. And taught post-graduate students at a media college in Mumbai. During the COVID phase, I helped seniors with mobile technology, particularly, mobile security. My mission is simple: Decode complex tech, reveal its true business impact, and facilitate the conversations that move industries forward. I separate hype from facts as I review new tech and products for prosumers. I am NOT an "influencer" or "blogger". My aspirations lie elsewhere. I AM a respected editor with industry certifications. A dot-connector and a trusted industry voice who builds deep community engagement through storytelling. As an experienced journalist & facilitator, I offer: 🔹 Executive Interviews & Moderation: High-stakes panel moderation and roundtables. I ask the right questions to extract deep, actionable insights from C-suite leaders. 🔹 Conference Architecture & Consulting: Helping global organizers build high-impact agendas that resonate deeply with both technical and business audiences. . 🔹 Workshops & Masterclasses: Educating the next generation of communicators and tech leaders through bespoke training sessions. 🔹 Consultation for Podcast setups. 🔹 End-user cybersecurity awareness and AI training. Achievement Snapshot ----------------------------- Global Footprint: Travelled to 20 countries, covering major tech breakthroughs and leading global conferences. Media Pioneer: Launched podcast channels, websites, a custom podcast studio, and a highly engaged community of several thousand C-suite professionals and tech practitioners. Content Architect: Produced agenda content for three major global tech conferences. Let’s build something together. Whether you need a seasoned moderator for your next global conference, a conference program/agenda, content for your website, a course curriculum for your college, or a strategic deep-dive into the tech sector.
