Rahul Prabhakar

I am a writer. Not your usual kinds. I am paid to write about technology. I am a leading member of the technical writing community in Asia, having spearheaded many initiatives to elevate the profession in the region. I own and moderate the widely popular Technical Writers India listserv on Yahoo! Groups, which is by far the largest mailing list for professional technical communicators in India. I represented Samsung at a panel discussion on “Internationalization of the technical communication profession” at the 55th STC Summit in Philadelphia, USA (May 2008), and presented a paper on "Exploring different genres of technical writing and its allied fields" at the 6th Annual Conference of the STC India Chapter in Chennai (December 2004). My work has appeared in STC Intercom, Korea.net, About.com, Wealth, Chandamama, Khaleej Times, IndiaPRWire.com, SouthAsiaNews.com, India Economy Review, Gearlog (a PC Magazine Blog), The Smart Techie, Express Computer, Dataquest, TMCnet.com, Expressitpeople.com, The Content Wrangler, PCS (IEEE Newsletter), among others. I enjoy writing; there is nothing else in the world I will give my right arm for.
