He has reported on politics, economic policy, business and technology — traveling extensively. He has helped set up integrated newsrooms that combine the best of print, video and the web. Narendra has also been an entrepreneur with two successful start-ups, both in the digital/social space. He now heads an international firm's social media practice in India. Follow @narendranag
