Arjun Rao

Arjun Rao is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Cyber Kannadigas. A Bengaluru-based journalist and digital-rights advocate, he has spent over a decade writing about technology, governance, and consumer protection for Indian readers. He started Cyber Kannadigas after watching family members and neighbours in Karnataka fall for UPI and KYC scams that better information could have prevented. Arjun sets the publications editorial standards, oversees fact-checking, and insists every safety claim is sourced to Karnataka government bodies, the RBI, CERT-In, or the national cybercrime helpline. He holds a postgraduate degree in journalism and writes the publications scam-alert and brand-trust coverage. He believes clear, unsensational, Karnataka-context guidance keeps people safe online.
