Summary

Abraham Koshy is a scholar of Communication, Media, and Politics. His teaching and research explore persuasive communication in intergroup settings, examining how such communication shapes attitudes and behaviors in both mediated and interpersonal contexts. His current work focuses on designing and studying news recommender systems in India that are grounded in democratic and communication theory.

Before joining academia, he founded and served as Editor-in-Chief of LURU Magazine, a print-only publication launched in 2025 to foster a shared communicative space for citizens of Bengaluru to reflect on urban identity and belonging.
