Background

About Ananth M. K.

A seasoned communications professional with a Master's degree in Advertising and Public Relations. 20 years of rich experience includes 17 years as a reputed journalist with leading English national newspapers and now as an accomplished Communication Strategist. Strategizing and providing high-quality content in layman's language to suit the target audience is my God-given gift. It’s been my passion as well as my line of business. My experience includes highly responsible leadership roles over the last 7 years, where I am handling and working with teams comprising employees from their 20s to 60s, consultants, multiple vendors, and part-timers. Prior to my stint at Tamilnadu Technology (iTNT) Hub, I was the Associate Vice President (Communication) of StartupTN, the Government of Tamil Nadu’s nodal agency for Startup and Innovation. I was heading the behind-the-scenes team responsible for all essential internal and external communications of StartupTN. I ensured that StartupTN’s efforts are projected to the Startup ecosystem stakeholders within the State and the global audience, thereby strengthening the Startup ecosystem of Tamil Nadu. I excelled as an impactful journalist for 16 years with leading newspapers including The Times of India, The Hindu, and The New Indian Express, in their print and digital formats. I earned more than bylines as I established myself as a reputed journalist. Convincing diverse audiences to gather information and conveying the desired details to a wide range of stakeholders under tight deadlines are my key skills. I am also passionate about photography and my pictures have been published on the National, State, and Regional pages of the media houses I represented. I am keen to share more and know each other better across the table.
