ABOUT SOUNAK MUKHOPADHYAY

I’ve worn many editorial hats (and never let one fall off). From chasing crypto buzz to decoding financial jargon, my journey through the media jungle has been anything but boring.Currently, I cover trending news at LiveMint, where I juggle Shah Rukh Khan, Virat Kohli and viral videos —all before my second coffee. Adaptability is my middle name (not really, but it should be).Before that, I led the charge at Moneycontrol as Chief Sub-Editor (2019–2022), heading a fantastic team and making sure every story hit the sweet spot between “need to know” and “can’t stop reading”. Think of me as the editorial DJ, mixing serious news with smooth flow.Back in 2018, I rolled up my sleeves and launched full news services for a crypto startup as Editor-in-Chief at Owlt Market. Yep, built it from the ground up with nothing but a laptop, a vision and a slightly-alarming love for blockchain headlines.My writing roots trace back to The Inquisitr (2016–2018), where I tackled everything from global headlines to quirky viral trends. And, before that, I held the fort at International Business Times (2012–2016) as a News Editor, steering business content and leading newsroom strategy like a boss.In short: I write, edit, lead and build with equal parts passion and precision. Whether it’s start-ups or stalwarts, newsrooms or niche beats, I bring stories to life. Let’s just say: I don’t chase headlines, I shape them.BTW, I\'m an MA in Journalism and Mass Communication.
