Deepa Rajan
Deepa Rajan wanted to be a lawyer, so she became a journalist. As a sub-editor, her favourite thing to do was rewrite copies. Now, a 15-plus-years career later, she spends time rewriting her own copies. Deepa loves the Oxford comma and binge-watching shows when not serving as a “Tell Me Why” encyclopaedia to her almost 6-year-old. Write to Deepa at deepa@businessliveme.com
