Rashmi Kumar is a financial journalist with over 12 years of reporting and writing experience.
Rashmi spent 10 years of her career working for London-based media and publishing house Euromoney Institutional Investor, in their offices in Hong Kong and Singapore. She was Asia Editor of GlobalCapital and Editor of Asiamoney magazine until the end of 2022, before becoming a freelance writer, journalist and conference moderator.
She started her journey with Euromoney in January 2013, joining the GlobalCapital/EuroWeek team as a reporter covering the syndicated loan market. After more than a year covering this beat, she switched to writing about Asia's equity capital market, reporting on some of the largest Hong Kong and US IPOs of Chinese companies, as well as those in the rest of Asia. Rashmi then covered Asia's G3 currency bond market, before taking over as Editor of GlobalCapital Asia at the end of 2015 — becoming one of the youngest Asia editors at the publication.
Rashmi started writing for Asiamoney, a quarterly magazine focused on banking and finance, in early 2018, before taking over as Editor in May 2021.
Rashmi has conducted many interviews with bank CEOs, Asian central bank governors and ministry of finance officials for GlobalCapital, Asiamoney and GlobalMarkets, a newspaper published by Euromoney during the annual IMF meetings. Before Euromoney, she worked for two years at London-based Campden Media, covering family businesses, family offices and wealth management.
She is currently a freelance journalist, writer and editor based in Singapore, and sole proprietor of Write Track. She has written for clients like Euromoney, GlobalCapital, Mergermarket and Asian Venture Capital Journal, partnered with groups like Temenos, Resonate Global and Ashbury Communications, and consulted on events and content for the Asian Development Bank.
In the early stages of her journalism career, Rashmi covered general news in Chennai as a part-time reporter for Chennaionline.com, and wrote about the Indian F&B landscape in London through interviews with Michelin-starred chefs and owners of quirky joints.
