About Dhiraj Shetty
I\'m a journalist and editor with over 25 years of experience across India’s leading media houses — including The Hindu, Mumbai Mirror, Bangalore Mirror, and Rediff. I’ve led newsrooms, built content strategies, mentored young journalists, and helped teams navigate the shift from print to digital-first journalism. But my work goes far beyond the newsroom. I’ve launched an international publication, run a content team for a global finance magazine, led award campaigns, managed large residential communities, and even operated two restaurants. Every role sharpened my skills in leadership, execution, and communication — whether I was writing a headline, mentoring a colleague, negotiating with a vendor, or engaging with a civic body. What I bring to the table: Sharp editorial judgement & multimedia storytelling 🧭 Strategic thinking rooted in real-world execution Empathy-driven team leadership & mentorship Grasp of SEO, digital tools & audience engagement Entrepreneurial & community-building mindset I’m open to editorial leadership roles, strategic content consulting, and mission-driven projects — especially those at the intersection of storytelling, community, and impact.
