Hey Hackers! I’m Samiran Mondal and I’m the Founder & CEO of News Coverage Agency.

The 2021 HackerNoon Contributor of the Year.

HackerNoon Reporter: What does it mean for you to win this title?

It is a great honor and privilege to have the title of Hackernoon contributor of the year-startup for 2021. The title is a celebration of my contributions and many creators' contributions to grow the industry to a more informative space for all.

How do you or your company intend to embrace the responsibility of this title in 2022?

My company and I are always keen on ensuring readers get the right engaging information and bear the correct facts. That said, we intend to use this opportunity to further our mission, growing our reach to all corners of the world.

What are some of the goals you’re looking forward to accomplishing in 2022 (whether it be through company initiatives or your personal journey)?

News Coverage Agency as a full-service digital marketing agency, my goal is to help grow our new branch working alongside my team and partners. I am also looking forward to taking our operations mainstream to deliver inspiring, eye-catching designs and campaigns that help connect our clients to their targeted audience.

As you look at the variety of concerning trends in the world around you, what solutions can you think of? Name three trends and three solutions. Be as brief or as detailed as you like.

The first trend is the cost of the rise of technology. I believe democratization of the use of technology through data analysis, developments, and design will help give users access to technical and business experiences without having to go through expensive requirements.

The second trend is the tragedy of the commons brought by the scarcity of resources. As the world faces significant environmental challenges such as climate change, having transparency and traceability will bring forth accountability needed to ensure all resources are used accordingly and preserved for future generations.

Lastly, growth of the bank's wealth management businesses. Banks can take a digitally scalable advice model to scale this growth further.

After participating in this journey, is there anything that you would like the HackerNoon team to know?

I appreciate the Hackernoon team's opportunity and many before me. The platform has always been inspirational, and it is always an honor to work with them.

What is something special about you or your company that you’ve rarely had the chance to properly share but really wanted to? (Give this one a proper think, I’ll know if you didn’t!)

There are numerous things to share, but I will state my commitment for now. My team and I comprise determined people brought together by the shared responsibilities to ensure only the best for our clients.

What song or music album are you currently enjoying?

A song, Nijeder Mawte Nijeder Gaan by CITIZENS UNITED.

What are some concepts you wish people knew more about?

People should take their time to learn about blockchain and its technologies, Crypto, Web3, metaverse, DeFi, and NFTs as we approach complete digitalization. The world could also use a little more kindness. Kindness is a gift that should always be paid forward.

Is there anything else you’d like me to know? It can be anything.

I believe this is the start of something good with more exciting news to come.
