Saikat Pyne
Staff Reporter
A Post graduate from the Asian College of Journalism, Saikat stumbled into Journalism, and realized his call.\n\nA geek at heart, he’s intrigued about how technology can transform Journalism. A ‘good story’ to him is one that requires significant investigative skills and conveys it as an immersive experience. In the age of breaking news, he feels the question really should be, “I have a story, how do I break it?”\n\nA student of broadcast journalism, Saikat swears by the visual appeal of stories. Visual. Mobile. Social - that’s today’s Journalism to him. He covers Retail, Automobiles, Civil Aviation, Technology and Startups. \n\nSaikat has a voracious appetite for food and news. He unwinds over music, comics and coffee.
