About Harish Alagappa

I’m a writer, storyteller, and content strategist interested in how people make sense of the world, whether through video games, history, culture, sport, motorcycles, or technology.For over 15 years, I’ve worked across startups, large global organisations, NGOs, and independent projects, helping turn complex ideas into narratives that are clear, grounded, and worth spending time with.My favourite place to work is the boundary layer between known and unknown, art and science, high and low-brow, India and the world. I work comfortably across long-form editorial, reported writing, product narratives, case studies, and thought leadership. I care as much about structure and intent as I do about prose. And I care a lot about prose.I’ve written for platforms and publications including Booking.com, Atlas Obscura, and the official blog of the Jaipur Literature Festival, alongside senior in-house roles where I’ve helped shape content direction for technology and product-led teams.In recent years, my work has increasingly focused on editorial leadership. Setting a point of view. Deciding what is worth publishing and what is not. Creating frameworks that help teams produce better work without losing their voice. I’m interested in content as a long-term asset rather than a constant output treadmill.I enjoy working with writers and subject matter experts, helping them sharpen ideas, challenge assumptions, and say something meaningful rather than merely say something new. I’m particularly drawn to organisations that treat writing as a thinking discipline and content as a way to earn trust over time.
