Hi, I’m Vignesh.

I focus on building audiences for media and tech.

I also edit and report on race, culture and politics, as co-founder of Red, White and Brown Media, chronicling South Asian American stories.

Say my name, say my name...

(“vig-naysh”) (“raw-mah-chun-dren”)

I am co-founder and editor of Red, White and Brown Media (subscribe on Substack), focused on building media representation and sharing South Asian American stories.

I have worked for several media and tech companies, including Apple News, The Washington Post, PBS NewsHour, ProPublica, Peninsula Press, Stanford Computational Journalism Lab, Mashable and NBC News Digital.

Early in my career, I once worked for NBC’s TODAY show, where my morning-person tendencies helped, as well as for “Food Network Challenge,” where I (sadly) learned no one really ate the cakes after the desserts sat under studio lights all day.

I am currently based in San Francisco. I love dogs, including my pup Laddoo.
