Not enough data
Pragya Srivastava's coverage largely revolves around finance, economy, and data analysis. She primarily cites data in her articles, indicating a preference for factual information and statistical evidence.
Given the heavy reliance on data in Pragya's articles, she would likely be interested in pitches that provide unique insights or analyses based on reliable economic indicators such as GDP growth, inflation rates, earnings reports etc., particularly those related to India.
As her focus is national (India), experts with specific knowledge of the Indian economy and its key drivers would be well-suited to reach out for commentary or analysis. Additionally, given her interest in global events from an economic perspective, pitches offering insights into how international events impact India’s economy may also resonate with her.
