I've been behind and in front of paywalls for the last 10 years. I write on technology companies, both, venture funded and listed. And more recently, food tech and consumer-focused companies have caught my fancy. When not working, I can be found traveling or reading graphic novels. Before ET, I've worked for The Ken, Business Standard and Outlook Business. Tweet to me @vegan_shakes if you want to chat.
