Chethan Kumar is an Assistant Editor (Space, Science & Defence) with the Times of India. Aside from his primary beats, he has been writing on varied topics, with special focus on policy and data stories.

A journalist for more than a decade, he has written stories from multiple datelines — Kochi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Sriharikota (AP), NH-1 (J&K Highway), New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Raichur, Batkhal, Mysuru, Chamarajanagar, to name a few in India — but is based out of Bengaluru, India’s science capital that also hosts the Isro headquarters.
