Hi, I’m Udit Misra — Senior Associate Editor at The Indian Express. I specialise in business, macro-economics and the shifting terrain of global trade and policy. My goal is to make economic concepts accessible, grounded and relevant for readers who want to understand not just the numbers, but the story behind them.
In my role, I lead coverage of India’s economic journey, analyse critical policy moves and write a weekly “Explained” column that breaks down complex data-sets into clear perspectives. I believe rigorous journalism is about asking the right questions and illuminating how everyday decisions — by governments, companies or households — matter.
Prior to The Indian Express, I held editorial roles at media organisations including Business Standard and Mint, where I deepened my reporting on financial markets, regulation and global economy dynamics. On social media, I regularly share observations and commentary under the handle @ieuditmisra on X.
When I’m not covering the economy, you’ll find me following macro-trends around the world, thinking about how India can position itself amid global shifts, and exploring the narratives that shape our financial future.
