Founder & Editor, MSMEBriefing
Haresh B. Jhala has spent 38 years in the business of finding the story nobody else is telling.
From the newsrooms of Ahmedabad and Surat to the Gujarat bureau of Deccan Herald, from Indian television studios to field operations for BBC World, France 24 and Al Jazeera — he has covered Indian business, politics and society through every significant chapter of the modern era.
He does not describe himself as an expert. He describes himself as a journalist. After 38 years, that word carries more weight than any other title.
The Journey
Starting with Western Times, Ahmedabad in 1987, the road ran through Gujarat Mitra, the launching team of New Surat Times, a decade with Financial Express and The Indian Express, Gujarat Bureau Chief at Deccan Herald, television with ETV Network and VTV Gujarati — which he planned, designed and launched — News X, DNA, First India, IANS and The Secretariat.
In parallel, as a freelance fixer and assistant producer for BBC World, France 24 and Al Jazeera, he brought the Indian story to global audiences.
Thirty-eight years. Print. Television. Digital. Wire services. International broadcasting. Every platform. Every format. One constant — the story.
Why MSMEBriefing
India has 63 million MSME businesses — the backbone of its economy. Mainstream business media gives them footnotes.
MSMEBriefing exists to correct that. Not news for its own sake. Intelligence that helps you navigate. Not analysis for academics. Insight that helps you decide.
For the MSME. Of the MSME.
The Philosophy
Haresh does not believe in making tall claims about his work. He believes the work speaks.
He has written daily without exception since 2019. Not because a deadline demanded it. Because a journalist who stops writing stops thinking.
