Our Mission
“To democratize access to world-class business knowledge for every entrepreneur, student, and professional in India.
Business Waale was founded on a simple belief: that high-quality business journalism should not be locked behind paywalls or restricted to elite boardrooms. Every founder, student, and aspiring entrepreneur deserves access to the same sharp insights and analysis that drive the world's greatest companies.
From the hustling startup hubs of Bangalore to the traditional business districts of Mumbai, we cover stories that matter — written by people who live and breathe business every day. Our editorial team blends rigorous journalism with deep industry expertise to bring you content that informs, inspires, and moves the needle.

The Founder
Arjun Mehta
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Arjun started Business Waale in 2016 with one conviction: that great business journalism should be accessible to every entrepreneur in India, not just those in corporate boardrooms. A former Economic Times correspondent with 15 years of experience covering markets, startups, and leadership — he has interviewed over 300 founders and believes the most powerful business stories are always about people, not just numbers.
“We don't chase page views. We chase truth — and occasionally, a really good chai.”
