I cover commerce and industry, macroeconomy and textiles for The Economic Times with a focus on international trade and its impact on India. Identifying interesting trends in the beats I cover, be it for sharp news stories or long format features, especially when they have linkages with other industries, is something that interests me. As a business news journalist, I have covered various other sectors as well including IT, business education, environment and revenue. I started my career with Business Standard and went on to work with The Financial Express and Cogencis. I can be reached at kirtika.suneja@timesgroup.com and tweet from @KirtikaSunejaET.
