Pritish Raj is a sports journalist with The Indian Express group and has a keen interest in the Olympic sports landscape along with sports policy and governance.

Athletics and hockey are his go-to sports. He shares a hot and cold relationship with disciplines like boxing, wrestling, and shooting. He tries to present technical nuances of the sport in simple terms of his readers.
Starting his career at The Bridge, Pritish loves reporting from the ground and has reported extensively during the 2024 Olympics, 2023 Asian Games, and the wrestlers' protest in 2023.
