He writes a very popular political economy column named Rajartha for Economy India and other publications. He founded Bharatiya Yuva Patrakar Sangathan India's first youth media organization in 1995, which basically works for granting constitutional status of fourth estate to media. He has recently authored a mammoth book on corruption titled 'A Crusade against Corruption on the Neutral Path, which is in two volumes and having 850 pages. He has also authored another book titled 'A Dialogue on System Change, An initiative to make a New India', which has its Hindi edition named 'Vyastha Parivartan ek Vimarsh, pehal ek naye bharat ke rachna ki'. These both books are the complete documentary perspective of our whole public order and governance.
