Anees Hussain is a Principal Correspondent at Financial Express, based in Bengaluru. A print and digital journalist, he covers startups, new-age businesses, and public policy as it impacts these sectors. His coverage has a special focus on e-commerce, quick commerce, food delivery, the Hotel, Restaurant and Catering industry, edtech, and the gig economy. His reporting is built on on-ground sourcing across industries and supply chains.

He also writes “The Big Idea,” a Monday weekly column in print, profiling the founders and leaders behind India’s most interesting startups. Prior to Financial Express, Anees worked as a sub-editor at NDTV and as a Senior Correspondent at BW Businessworld, covering business, startups, and technology. When he’s not chasing stories, he can be found on a long run, playing football, or rooting for Manchester United.

Core Areas of Expertise:
• Public Policy: Covering government regulation, policy reform, and their impact on new-age businesses.
• New-Age Businesses & Startups: Reporting on India’s startup ecosystem — funding rounds, IPO filings, valuations, leadership transitions, business model pivots, and the growth trajectories of consumer internet companies.
• E-Commerce & Quick Commerce: Tracking platform economics, delivery logistics, commission structures, and competitive dynamics.
• Food & Restaurant Industry: Covering the business of food — from restaurant operations, pricing, and supply chains to food safety regulation, FSSAI compliance, licensing, cloud kitchens, QSRs, and the impact of delivery platforms on the restaurant economy.
• PE/VC & Startup Funding: Reporting on private equity, venture capital, deal activity, fund strategy, LP-GP dynamics, exits, and the shifting capital flows shaping India’s startup landscape.
• Narrative Journalism: Writing “The Big Idea,” a weekly full-page column profiling founders, business leaders, and the companies they are building through long-form storytelling. The column looks to uncover the psyche of founders behind India’s most interesting startups.
