Expertise
Car news, New and used car buyer's guides, Automotive engineering
- Kiran has covered the global automotive scene through reviews, news, DIY articles, features, and buyer's guides.
- Cars have had a profound impact on Kiran ever since he was a toddler, sifting through auto magazines long before he understood what words meant—it was all about looking at the pictures. This obsession grew with age, and he has since devoted his life to all things motoring.
- Other interests of his include motorsports and finance, in addition to fitness and economics. When he's not writing about engines and horsepower, he's probably hitting a personal best at the gym or inside a geopolitical rabbit hole.
