Role you're checking

Tech Journalist

Creator

Tech journalists in India cover the startup and funding ecosystem (Inc42, YourStory, ET Tech, Entrackr, The Ken), deep-dive into emerging technology policy and product (Moneycontrol Tech, Bloomberg Tech India, Times Internet mastheads), and report on corporate tech strategy at listed companies. The beat demands fluency in startup funding mechanics — pre-money/post-money valuations, SAFE notes, term sheets — alongside RBI fintech regulation, DPDP Act compliance, and the vocabulary of Indian cap tables. Most practising journalists hold journalism or mass-communication degrees, but engineers who pivot via PluGGd.in-era digital-native roots, newsletters, or Substack followings increasingly break in without formal credentials. Earning power diverges sharply: a correspondent at Inc42 or YourStory earns ₹10-22L while a senior deputy editor with a Substack audience and podcast crossover can clear ₹60L-1.5Cr.
