Sharmishta Sarkar

Managing Editor (APAC)

Sharmishta is TechRadar's Managing Editor for the APAC region, looking after the day-to-day functioning of the Australian, New Zealand and Singaporean editions of the site. This includes managing not just the usual news, reviews and features coverage for the APAC editions of TechRadar, but she also spearheads the ecommerce content drive for several of Future's Australian publications. She also helps with onboarding and training new starters at Future's Australian office. Her expertise lies in photography, having been reviewing cameras and lenses for the last seven years. This has led to her also becoming the Managing Editor of the Australian edition of Digital Camera World. She's also quite the expert on ereaders and E Ink tablets on account of being an avid reader, and she's appeared on Singaporean radio a couple of times to talk about these underrated devices. She's also built up quite a lot of knowledge on smart home gizmos and helps review home and kitchen appliances on TechRadar. In addition to her duties on TechRadar and Digital Camera World, she also helps out on Tom's Guide and T3, both of which have Australian editions.
