Zahid H Javali’s Summary
I have been a journalist for the last 13 years and done just about everything under the publication sun. From working in a weekly tabloid to a monthly magazine to a fortnightly tourist guide to a quarterly investment journal to a daily newspaper, it's been one long joyride.
After being the City Editor of MiD DAY, a daily tabloid in Bangalore, I now run Write Wing Media that is into custom publishing coffeetable books, magazines, brochures, newsletters, and syndicating content.
That aside, I also freelance as editor/writer/photographer for publications in India, US and Singapore. I am Consulting Editor for Travel & Shop, a fortnightly tourist guide in Bangalore besides working for The Elite Post and Workforce Management, America's award-winning magazine read by CEOs and CFOs the world over. Not to mention, SilverKris, the inflight magazine of Singapore Airlines.
I also regularly contribute to an American portal on digital photography and computers besides being a regular movie columnist for the in-flight magazine of Paramount Airways besides being on the advisory board of a newly-launched magazine on the South Indian film industry. I also contribute technology/gadgets pieces to The Man magazine (Malayala Manorama Group) and Mint, the business newspaper of The Wall Street Journal.
That apart, I do CEO profiles of tech companies for LIVE IT, a tech magazine brought out by the Delhi Press Group (Caravan, Alive, Women's Era), and do some travel writing for India Today Travel Plus.
