About Anupreeta Das
I am the South Asia correspondent for The New York Times. I strive to write explanatory, thought-provoking, colorful and agenda-setting stories about India and its neighbors, including Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.I am also the author of \"Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape the World.\" The book, published in 2024 by Avid Reader Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, uses the evolving image of Gates to engage with broader themes about philanthropy, technology, wealth and inequality. It was long-listed for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year, and selected as one of the best books of 2024 by Waterstones, the preeminent U.K. book retailer.Earlier, I was the finance editor of The Times. I managed a team of seven reporters and ran award-winning coverage of Wall Street, including markets, banking, private equity, white-collar crime and consumer finance.I worked at The Wall Street Journal for a decade. In my last role there, I was a deputy business editor, working closely with the business editor, bureau chiefs and dozens of reporters to set the agenda on the biggest business and technology stories of the day.As a reporter at the Journal, I wrote groundbreaking stories about Wall Street and finance, and wrote dozens of stories about Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway. I was also a mergers-and-acquisitions reporter at the paper and broke news of some of the biggest takeovers of the post-financial crisis era.
