About David Bodapati
Experienced Journalist | Sports & Motorsports Specialist | Public Health & Development Professional With 30+ years in news writing and editing, I bring deep expertise in storytelling, sports journalism, and NGO documentation. My career spans coverage of all Olympic sports, with specialised focus on field hockey and motorsports. I was the first Indian journalist to interview Michael Schumacher (2002) and founded INDIAinF1.com, an FIA- and FIM-accredited portal covering all 12 FMSCI National Championships—today India’s top-ranked motorsport site after the closure of motorsport.com India. Beyond journalism, I have extensive experience in public health and development communication, working with marginalised communities on the prevention of communicable infections, and supporting NGOs in documentation and compliance writing. I also volunteer by writing and improving profiles of sportspersons and Indian MLAs on Wikipedia, contributing to reducing systemic gender bias through \'Women in Red\' project, and enhancing public knowledge.
