RINI ELIZABETH MUKKATH
Born out of a passion for telling stories, Rini Mukkath started ET Global to help brands tell their stories more effectively. With over 15 years of experience in the media industry, she consults on investment boards across industries, tech companies, and artists, among others. Rini is the Editor of Luxe Code, a magazine that explores art, design and the visual culture that impacts us. Before starting Luxe Code, she was Assistant Editor at The Hindu, a leading English daily in India, and covered stories ranging from art history, travel, and culture to human interest pieces. During the course of her career as a newspaper journalist, she transitioned to a more dynamic role as the industry shifted to a digital-first medium. With her current role in the media industry, she looks at revenue streams that address the digital disruption the print media is experiencing. She received the Deutsche Welle fellowship for attending the Global Media Forum in 2014. She participates in various social events as a speaker and mentor and is keen to use the power of the media to address development challenges; particularly, human rights and education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Stella Maris College in India and holds a Master's degree in International Journalism from Cardiff University, United Kingdom. While she currently calls London her home, she often travels across the globe for work and to experience new places.
