01About

Harsh V Singh spent his twenties chasing chief ministers for a quote and hospital corridors for a story. Today he runs global project delivery for Rang Digitech LLC, Associate Director since April 2026, based out of Piscataway, New Jersey, running his team day-to-day from Rang's Vadodara and Ahmedabad offices in Gujarat, leading delivery for a cross-functional team that manages client relationships and campaign execution across the US, UK, Canada, UAE, and India.

Before any of that, he was a reporter, bylined stories for The Times of India, the International Business Times (Singapore Edition), NewsX and British Herald. Reporting that took him from hospital wards in Hyderabad to the floor of the Karnataka Vidhan Soudha, sitting across from sitting and former Chief Ministers, party spokespeople and civil servants to get the quote that mattered. That grounding, verify the fact, hit the deadline, say the complicated thing simply, still drives how he thinks about brand strategy and corporate communications now. Just aimed at a different kind of story.

Nine-plus years in, journalism and brand strategy still run on the same fuel: get the facts right, then make people care. He has interviewed sitting chief ministers, a former prime minister, Indian ambassadors, actors, singers, foreign MPs, Indian MLAs, MLCs and MPs, RTI commissioners, scholars, and Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi, and broken investigative stories that prompted government scrutiny.

Told him thank you, for carrying Indian cricket through the match-fixing years, and for that Kolkata Test against Australia alongside Rahul Dravid in particular. He smiled, acknowledged it kindly, signed an autograph for my father, and posed for a quick selfie before he had to rush off. Genuinely humble, exactly as advertised.
