Shweta Birendra Shukla

Shweta Birendra Shukla is a Senior Sub-editor at Zee Business, born and raised in Mumbai—the city that never sleeps and the financial capital that never stops buzzing. With a bachelor’s in financial markets and a master’s in economics, she was clearly destined for the world of money, markets, and mild chaos. But spreadsheets alone couldn’t satisfy her curiosity, so she added a PG Diploma in English Journalism from IIMC Delhi to the mix—because why not pair economics with a side of storytelling?

Shweta began her journalism journey at Mint and later reported for Business Standard, sharpening her expertise in stock markets, business news, companies, and mergers & acquisitions. Nearly four years in, she’s built a reputation for breaking down complex business developments with clarity, speed, and just the right amount of attitude.

Outside the newsroom, Shweta swaps market charts for match stats—she’s a die-hard cricket nerd—and believes music is the best therapy money can buy. Smart, spirited, and slightly obsessed with the markets, she brings both precision and personality to every story she tells. You can reach out to her at shweta.shukla@India.com
