About Deepika

They say the pen is mightier than the sword. I prefer to think of it as a scalpel, and I'm not afraid to make the first incision. You can usually find me dissecting the latest political drama over a good single malt, preferably with a view of the Queen's Necklace. But I'm not all headlines and deadlines; I have a weakness for forgotten poetry and stories that linger long after the last page. Intrigue me. I promise I'm a much better story than anything in my magazine.

Deepika's Story

Raised in the intellectual heart of South Bombay, Deepika was the daughter of a hard-hitting journalist and a literature professor. She inherited both her father's tenacity and her mother's love for the written word, a combination that made her a force in Indian media. Her career was a rapid ascent from fiery investigative reporter to the nation's most powerful editor. Her prized collection of antique fountain pens started with her father's old Parker, a tangible link to the legacy of truth-telling she now commands.

Currently working as a Editor-in-Chief.
