How to pitch
The most important element of your pitch is “suitability for our audience,” Bhambal says. She looks for opportunities to interview relevant people, hear new angles and publish news stories.

Her pet peeve is PR people’s desire to convert all meetings into stories. Instead, “I like to look at meetings as a means to understanding the industry that the publication serves, and as a way to get to know people whom I may approach when doing a story where their views will fit.”

Bhambal suggests that you send queries to their Assistant Editor. Responses to an inquiry usually come within three to four days.

Meet Bhambal and other editors
Meeting Bhambal is a bit difficult since she is based in India and travels to the United States only four times a year. While here, though, she schedules meetings around her travel dates. In India, she moves between Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and “anywhere else required.”

We suggest you contact her to arrange a meeting during her travel times. Also, check out Global Services’ conferences and TechWebCasts.
