Portrait of Anupreeta Das

Anupreeta Das

Based in New Delhi, I write primarily about India. My goal is to write stories that explain India to the world, and to explore the differences between how India sees itself and how the world sees India. That includes writing about domestic politics, culture, society, business and economics, as well as India’s changing stature in the world.

I have spent more than two decades as a reporter and editor. I was born in India, and attended school there and in Britain and the U.S., while also spending a year in Canada on a public leadership fellowship. These experiences shape my reporting.

In 2020, I joined The Times as finance editor, working with a group of seven reporters to direct our Wall Street coverage. Before that, I spent a decade at The Wall Street Journal, where I was the deputy business editor. I also wrote about finance and business.

I’m the author of “Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World.” The book uses the evolving image of Mr. Gates to examine bigger themes such as the influence of billionaires on society, philanthropy and culture.

I love hiking. One of my proudest moments was summiting Mount Kilimanjaro.

As a Times journalist, I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I strive to be accurate and fair, and to verify information from multiple sources. I prioritize protecting the identity of sources who put themselves at risk to share sensitive information with me. I give people the opportunity and time to respond to my reporting before a story is published. I do not accept money, gifts or favors from anyone who might figure into my reporting. When reaching out to people, I introduce myself as a reporter for The Times.
