Content manager for Business Standard, BS Motoring, BS Strategist, and more... (Mumbai, India)

I was in charge of business-standard.com, bsmotoring.com and bs-strategist.com for a period of one year. In these jobs, I honed my web design and site management skills. The sites were re-designed several times during this period for better user-friendliness and functinality. The Business Standard site was updated several times daily by a team of people working under me. We believe we did good work considering the lack of interest in web-based information dissemination at that point in time.

Later, I was given a similar job in iMandiAsia Ltd, where I was crucial in the the creation and launch of pharmabiz.com. Here, I closely interacted with the technical team developing the website,, designers and journalists. After the launch of the site, the site went through 2 revisions in 3 years, and I have been responsible to a large extent to their successful execution.

Currently I manage the sites of our parent company, and some of the clients of FastCursor, the software business division of iMandiAsia which I manage.
