Madhav’s career in journalism started in 2008 at VCCircle, where, as the Associate Editor, he learned the ropes of building a new media platform. He joined The Economic Times in 2014 and headed startup coverage as one of its youngest National Editors.
Till recently he was at The Times of India to lead coverage of the internet economy and M&A. Having tracked the startup economy for over a decade, Madhav believes India’s new economy is at a pivotal juncture. It needs a publication that is independent to hold it accountable but at the same time is fact-based and objective.
He is also old school in thinking that opinion and reporting should not be mixed. Cui Bono?—the Latin phrase asking who benefits—is always the answer Madhav is looking for when evaluating an article.
