Om Atul Singh

Founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Fair Observer, an independent media platform; Atul Singh has also taught at many institutions including the University of California, Berkeley and the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar. Earlier years saw Singh as a combat officer in India's border regions of Nagaland and Kashmir, as well as a lawyer in London working for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and White & Case. At a time when there are six jobs in public relations for every job in journalism in the US, Singh is a rare media entrepreneur who has successfully swam against the tide. He was a pioneer in a new model of bottom-up citizen journalism with strict editorial filtering. As a result, people can find perspectives from more than 2,000 contributors from more than 80 countries around the world, from Mumbai and Nairobi to Munich and New York, on one media platform. In a world of clickbait, echo chambers and fake news, Atul Singh has been a leader of thoughtful, deep and diverse journalism. Atul Singh has a rare ability to see beneath the surface and around the corners. He was ahead of the curve in observing and analyzing the rise of populism in the form of Brexit, the rise of Donald Trump or the rise of Narendra Modi. He recently wrote a chapter on Brexit in a book on populist nationalism. He has spoken at institutions such as the United Nations, Google, Deloitte, Harvard and MIT. Atul Singh is a modern renaissance man with multicultural, eclectic experiences in many countries and several professions with an interdisciplinary background. No wonder a Googler introduced him as "the most interesting man in the world" before his presidential speech on the global rise of the far right in August 2016.
