Jas Bardia is a Bangalore-based business journalist covering India’s information technology (IT) services sector and Global Opportunity Centers (GCCs). Known for his investigative depth and attention to detail, Jas has a knack for telling stories about leadership changes, high-stakes deals and evolving industry trends long before they become mainstream. If the news is related to information technology, most likely the author broke it. Before joining Mint in November 2023, Jas honed his financial reporting skills at Bloomberg News in Mumbai, where he covered bonds and currencies after graduating from the Asian College of Journalism. When Jas isn’t chasing his next exclusive, he’s likely to be exploring the city’s newest food spots, cool events, or immersing himself in the electric atmosphere of a Bengaluru FC match at the Sri Kanteerava Stadium. Jas has an eye for detail, an ear for history, and a weakness for great cologne, and he values good conversation as much as good leadership.
