It was a nomadic existence which he swapped for a life of churning out words on the screen.
In between, he worked for a startup designing websites for Indias state-owned telecommunications company.
Brief forays into working on networking and SAP ERP convinced him of his love for all things digital.
Technology blogging was on the upswing in 2008 when he started his second career.
He transitioned from a staff author to an editorial role at MakeUseOf.com which continues to this day.
He has also written for GuidingTech.com and GoSkills.com.
Fun fact: Saikat enjoys photography in his spare time.
My Gear
My main workhorse is a Dell XPS 13.
Sometimes, I fall back on a trusty MacBook Air while traveling.
A Canon DSLR suffices for those times when I need a more powerful prime or a zoom lens.
Saikat holds a Bachelor of Sciences in Botany and a Masters Degree in Business Administration.
