Vijay Hardik Josyula

An accomplished mass communication professional from Symbiosis University, majoring in journalism and a masters in public administration from IGNOU, I am a firm believer in the decentralization of policy decision making. Having working across organizations such as NewsX, Teamwork Arts Pvt Ltd, E-commerce Wala, I have keen understand in international relations, urban governance, sustainability, AI and e-commerce. I pursued a B.Tech in electrical engineering before switching to pursue a career in journalism and policy. I write my posts on policy on my blog – The Critilizers and run a circular cities newsletter – Setting Up Circular Cities on Substack. I am firmly for building indigenous tech products and believe true sustainability cannot be achieved with a GDP-centric economic model. It requires a shift to a human-centric economic model
