Top SchoolRajat Agrawal is a communications leader and editor with 20+ years of experience blending corporate brand journalism, entrepreneurship, and technology reporting across India and Asia. At Microsoft he directs pan-Asia storytelling on AI’s societal and business impact, leading cross-functional teams and executive comms to amplify narratives across owned, earned, and social channels. He previously founded and scaled influential tech publications (BGR India, Mashable India) and built one of India’s early tech media ventures into a national print and digital product, demonstrating both editorial instinct and growth strategy.
