YourStory and The CapTable are India’s most closely watched platforms for startup, technology, and new economy journalism. We combine the urgency of breaking news with the depth of long-form narrative to tell the stories that shape India’s business landscape. We are now looking for talented journalists who want to do work that matters.

About the role

You will be a senior reporter across both YourStory and The CapTable, covering India’s startup, venture capital, fintech, and technology ecosystem. The role demands range: you will break news that moves markets and conversations, and you will write long-form features that stand up months after publication. You will also contribute to our newsletters, which are read by founders, investors, and policymakers across the country.

This is not a beat-and-file role. We are looking for journalists who can work a source, spot a pattern, and tell a story that no one else has told. You should be as comfortable turning around a 500-word breaking story in minutes as you are spending days on a 2,000-word feature.

What you will do

• Break news on funding rounds, leadership changes, regulatory shifts, and corporate strategy across India’s startup and technology sectors
• Report and write long-form features and analyses for The CapTable, with the narrative quality and rigour expected of a premium business journalism platform
• Contribute to newsletters with sharp, well-sourced writing that adds perspective beyond the headline
• Cultivate and maintain a deep source network across founders, investors, bankers, regulators, and operators
• Participate actively in story ideation, editorial planning, and newsroom discussions
• Adapt to new formats, platforms, and editorial experiments as the journalism landscape evolves
• Contribute to multimedia initiatives, including podcasts and piece-to-camera segments, as the newsroom expands its storytelling formats

What we are looking for

• 5–7 years of experience covering startups, technology, venture capital, or the broader business ecosystem, with a demonstrable track record of breaking news
• A portfolio that includes both breaking stories and long-form journalism—we will ask to see both
• Strong command of the English language; the ability to write clean, precise prose that does not lean on jargon or cliché
• Source networks that you have built and nurtured over time
• A team-first temperament: willingness to share leads, help colleagues, and put the newsroom’s interests ahead of individual bylines when needed
• Curiosity about and willingness to adapt to new tools, formats, and ways of working, including AI-assisted workflows, podcasts, and on-camera storytelling
• A genuine interest in India’s new economy and the forces—capital, policy, technology, and ambition—that are reshaping it
