About me
Hello, I am Tanay Sukumar, a numbers-crazy writer and journalist based in Delhi, India. I intend to use this website to share the best of my journalism as well as my ideas and learnings on things that keep my brain curious and active.
I trace my journey in public writing back to 2009, when I built News That Matters Not, a satirical news website, while at college. Back in the day, it became a somewhat popular platform for young online writers and readers in the early years of Indian blogging. That website is now defunct, but led me to pursue more serious journalism later. I now specialise in data-driven storytelling and like to demystify numbers for lay audiences in news contexts.
As work life took over, I lost touch with the practice of personal writing for the last few years. I aim to revive that here: you can expect me to soon start writing about some of the strange preoccupations that have obsessed me since childhood: calendars, maps and geodesy, and the joy of mathematics.
