Paul graduated in Journalism and Mass Communication from Maharaja Manindra Chandra College in Kolkata in 2017. The report says he then built experience across Indian sports newsrooms, combining editorial desk work with reporting from venues.
That path has given him a broad brief. Cricket remains his principal specialism, but his work has extended well beyond one sport and into international coverage.
Paul’s reported assignments include the 2017 Under-17 World Cup, the Ranji Trophy, the Indian Premier League and major hockey competitions, including FIH Pro League and FIH World League finals.
He also reportedly covered Lionel Messi’s visit to Kolkata in 2025, an assignment that placed him close to one of global football’s biggest personalities. The range of those events reflects a career shaped by both high-volume domestic sport and major international stories.
His work has included live blogs, breaking updates and longer-form interviews, requiring quick decisions at the venue as well as careful editing at the desk.
The report says Paul’s participation in an international young reporters programme in 2020 broadened his understanding of sports journalism and exposed him to perspectives from experienced reporters across different countries.
Now, his role at LiveMint puts him in a position to combine those skills: fast digital reporting, event-led coverage and the search for athletes and stories that deserve wider attention. The next chapter will be measured by how effectively he carries that range into the major sporting moments still ahead.
