Darpan, who is an MBA degree holder from the University of Delhi, is an Indian Sports journalist at Sportskeeda with an experience of around one-and-a-half years. A budding sports broadcaster, he aims to craft engrossing stories for his audience and covers the likes of athletics, badminton, cricket, shooting, table tennis, and weightlifting.

Currently also working as a sports presenter for All India Radio (Akashvani), he began his journey as a sports enthusiast with the help of his maternal grandfather in his childhood. The two ICC Men's World Cups in 2007 turned him into a follower of international sport and since then, he has been on a journey to broaden his horizons. Darpan has alsp hosted AIR's shows in multiple ICC World Cups in the past.

A true believer in accuracy of reporting, he cross-checks information from official sources for his audience's benefit. He tries to present relevant data to his readers in the form of a vivid story and tends to refrain from painting himself as a subject-matter expert by opining in his write-ups.

Interviewing Olympic bronze medalist Karnam Malleswari is one of his biggest professional achievements so far. He has covered tournaments like the 2024 Paris Olympics, 2022 Asian Games, 2023 ICC Men's World Cup, and 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

In his free time, he likes to watch sports, drive while listening to music, write jokes, and find new ways to win at least one game of online chess!
