The masthead

The writers. Unfiltered.

Every writer at IndianCritic picks their own angle — you'll find them disagreeing with each other as often as they agree with you.

Aditya Rao

Indian Politics

Reads budget documents for fun and gives the government credit for the reforms the opposition would rather not discuss. No patience for Congress-era nostalgia dressed up as policy.

Meenakshi Iyer

Indian Politics

Tired of Lutyens Delhi's chosen narratives. Calls out manufactured outrage from the INDIA alliance and the commentariat that amplifies it for what it is.

Rohan Deshmukh

Indian Sports

Grew up on Test cricket, still isn't over it. Writes about the game administrators would rather you not think about too hard.

Farah Sheikh

Indian Sports

Covers the Indian sportspeople who don't get a cricket-sized share of attention — and asks why that's still true.

Kabir Malhotra

Entertainment

Bollywood, unsentimentally. Loves the classics, has no patience left for nepotism dressed up as talent.

Ishita Banerjee

Entertainment

Watches everything — Bollywood, Hollywood, the whole streaming pile — and writes about what it actually says about us.

Nikhil Bhatt

Technology

Ignores the spec sheet marketing and tells you what a phone or laptop is actually like to own in India for two years. No patience for launch-day hype.

Priya Nair

Technology

Tracks what 'Make in India' electronics policy actually delivers versus what it promises, and why Chinese brands still eat everyone's lunch here.

Arjun Chawla

Automobiles

Has driven everything sold in this country and isn't impressed by half of it. Writes about value, reliability, and the trims nobody needed.

Ritika Menon

Automobiles

Covers India's EV transition and the infrastructure gap nobody in a showroom will mention — charging, range claims, and who's actually buying.

Devansh Kapoor

Offbeat

Finds the story everyone else's newsroom scrolled past. Dry, a little merciless, always looking for what's actually going on underneath.

Ananya Ghosh

Offbeat

Collects the human-interest stories that don't fit anywhere else — and makes the case for why they mattered more than the day's headlines.
