About

I am the founder and Editor-inChief @ DealStreetAsia - www.dealstreetasia.com - the largest deal news and intelligence platform in South Asia. We've also had a significant presence in India & China over the last 7 years, with dedicated team members on the ground, in these regions. DealStreetAsia is a subscription media with offerings across news, data and research! Our USP is producing journalism worth paying for - we are NOT a content play! In 2019, the Nikkei Group, which also owns the Financial Times (FT), picked up a controlling stake in DealStreetAsia. DealStreetAsia tracks all deal activity - PE, VC, IPOs, fund-raising, startups, M&A and has become the go-to destination for all developments in the alternate investments asset class across Asia. Headquartered in Singapore, we have a team of 45+ executives across SEA, India and HK. Our focus on news gathering, exclusive deal breaks and interviews, and big picture coverage of the ASEAN, India, and China/HK differentiates us in an aggregation-dominant market. And we got here because of the dedication of the team and the fact that we focussed on editorial, and editorial alonePrior to founding DealStreetAsia, I had worked as Editor, Telecom and Senior Assistant Editor with The Economic Times (published by Bennett, Coleman & Co.
