The year 2018 is important for us. We have new subscribers, new stories to tell. There is a lot to do at The Ken. Only fair then that the team grows. So, allow me to do the needful with a quick introduction.

K J Shashidhar joins us today. Shashidhar has been a journalist for over six years and has worked with The Times of India, The Financial Express and MediaNama, his last assignment. He is a fine bloke, and by that, I mean unusually quiet. Over the years, Shashidhar has written on several subjects. Banking, startups and technology, media, and also financial technology. He started his career on the desk at the old lady of Boribunder. At The Ken, Shashidhar will work out of Mumbai and write on telecom and financial technology. What he really wants to talk about though is his vinyl collection.
