I'm Paayal Zaveri, a journalist from the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a tech and business focused reporter and producer, and I have experience in digital and broadcast storytelling.

I am currently a producer at Bloomberg, where I cover tech and west coast focused business news for Bloomberg’s broadcast and digital platforms. I am focused on booking guests for a daily news show covering technology, Bloomberg Technology. Previously, I was a Senior Tech Reporter at Insider where I covered topics like cloud software, tech trends and culture, work-based immigration and the intersection of tech and politics. Before that I was a producer/reporter at CNBC's San Francisco Bureau, where I covered tech and California economy.

I am a versatile writer, interviewer and communicator who excels at making complex topics understandable and accessible.

Before becoming a tech reporter, I covered politics, education, arts and culture. My work has been published in Insider, CNBC, NBC Asian America, KQED Public Radio, and San Francisco Public Press. I have a masters degree from the University of California, Berkeley - Graduate School of Journalism and earned my bachelor’s in history and psychology from UC Davis — where I was a reporter and editor for my college paper, The California Aggie.
